UANISOHYPER_INV

User subroutine to define anisotropic hyperelastic material behavior using the invariant formulation.

User subroutine UANISOHYPER_INV:

  • can be used to define the strain energy potential of anisotropic hyperelastic materials as a function of an irreducible set of scalar invariants;

  • is called at all material calculation points of elements for which the material definition contains user-defined anisotropic hyperelastic behavior with an invariant-based formulation (Anisotropic hyperelastic behavior);

  • can include material behavior dependent on field variables or state variables;

  • requires that the values of the derivatives of the strain energy density function of the anisotropic hyperelastic material be defined with respect to the scalar invariants; and

  • is called twice per material point in each iteration.

The following topics are discussed:
