The Gent hyperelastic material model 〔 is a phenomenological model of rubber elasticity that is based on the concept of limiting chain extensibility. In this model, the strain energy density function is designed such that it has a singularity when the first invariant of the left Cauchy-Green deformation tensor reaches a limiting value . The strain energy density function for the Gent model is 〔Gent, A.N., 1996, '' A new constitutive relation for rubber'', Rubber Chemistry Tech., 69, pp. 59-61.〕 : where is the shear modulus and . In the limit where , the Gent model reduces to the Neo-Hookean solid model. This can be seen by expressing the Gent model in the form : A Taylor series expansion of around and taking the limit as leads to : which is the expression for the strain energy density of a Neo-Hookean solid. Several compressible versions of the Gent model have been designed. One such model has the form〔Mac Donald, B. J., 2007, Practical stress analysis with finite elements, Glasnevin, Ireland.〕 : where , is the bulk modulus, and is the deformation gradient. == Consistency condition == We may alternatively express the Gent model in the form : For the model to be consistent with linear elasticity, the following condition has to be satisfied: : where is the shear modulus of the material. Now, at , : Therefore, the consistency condition for the Gent model is : The Gent model assumes that 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gent (hyperelastic model)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
