Hyperelastic material



A hyperelastic or Green elastic material is an ideally elastomers often conforms closely to the hyperelastic ideal. Filled elastomers and biological tissues are also often modeled via the hyperelastic idealization.

Hyperelastic Models

Mooney-Rivlin solids. Many other hyperelastic models have since been developed. Models can be classified as:

1) phenomenological descriptions of observed behavior

2) mechanistic models deriving from arguments about underlying structure of the material

3) hybrids of phenomenological and mechanistic models
