Ogden hyperelastic model

Builds on Strain energy density function

Example

The incompressible Ogden model is the isotropic hyperelastic material whose strain energy density function is W=∑p=1Nμpαp(λ1αp+λ2αp+λ3αp−3),W = \sum_{p=1}^{N} \frac{\mu_p}{\alpha_p}\left(\lambda_1^{\alpha_p} + \lambda_2^{\alpha_p} + \lambda_3^{\alpha_p} - 3\right), subject to λ1λ2λ3=1\lambda_1 \lambda_2 \lambda_3 = 1. Here λ1,λ2,λ3\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3 are the principal stretches, the square roots of the eigenvalues of FTFF^T F, and N≥1N \ge 1, μp\mu_p, αp≠0\alpha_p \ne 0 are material constants. WW is a symmetric function of the principal stretches, so it defines an isotropic stored energy, and W=0W = 0 when all stretches are 11. The shear modulus at small strain is μ=12∑pμpαp\mu = \tfrac12 \sum_p \mu_p \alpha_p. Check of two special cases: N=1N = 1, α1=2\alpha_1 = 2 gives μ12(I1−3)\frac{\mu_1}{2}(I_1 - 3), the neo-Hookean solid. N=2N = 2, α1=2\alpha_1 = 2, α2=−2\alpha_2 = -2 gives the Mooney–Rivlin solid, because λ1−2+λ2−2+λ3−2=I2\lambda_1^{-2} + \lambda_2^{-2} + \lambda_3^{-2} = I_2 when λ1λ2λ3=1\lambda_1\lambda_2\lambda_3 = 1.
