Clamped Neo-Hookean Material
Constitutive Law
This MPM Material is an isotropic, elastic-plastic material in large strains using a hyperelastic formulation. The elastic part is a neo-Hookean material. Plasticity occurs when the elongation in either tensile of compressive elongation reaches a critical value. This material is based on similar material using in a paper to animate snow mechanics[1]. Although the model was based on engineering analysis of snow, it was simplified for efficiency in animation and for ease it creating a variety of responses.

Material Properties
The material properties are given in the following table.
| Property | Description | Units | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| CritComp | Critical compression extension | none | 0.025 |
| CritComp | Critical tensile extension | none | 0.0075 |
| xihard | Hardening coefficient | none | 10 |
| Elastic | Enter 0 to basic elastic stresses on the model in Ref. [1]. Enter 1 to base elastic stresses on the neo-Hookean material. | none | 0 |
| (other) | Properties to define underlying neo-Hookean material (note that UJOption is always 1 when Elastic is 0, but can be any option when Elastic is 1) | varies | varies |
