Compressible neo-Hookean material . For a compressible material undergoing uniaxial extension, the principal stretches are : \lambda_1 = \lambda ~;~~ \lambda_2 = \lambda_3 = \sqrt{\tfrac{J}{\lambda}} ~;~~ I_1 = \lambda^2 + \tfrac{2J}{\lambda} Hence, the true (Cauchy) stresses for a compressible neo-Hookean material are given by : \begin{align} \sigma_{11} & = \cfrac{4C_1}{3J^{5/3}}\left(\lambda^2 - \tfrac{J}{\lambda}\right) + 2D_1(J-1) \\ \sigma_{22} & = \sigma_{33} = \cfrac{2C_1}{3J^{5/3}}\left(\tfrac{J}{\lambda} - \lambda^2\right) + 2D_1(J-1) \end{align} The stress differences are given by : \sigma_{11} - \sigma_{33} = \cfrac{2C_1}{J^{5/3}}\left(\lambda^2 - \tfrac{J}{\lambda}\right) ~;~~ \sigma_{22} - \sigma_{33} = 0 If the material is unconstrained we have \sigma_{22} = \sigma_{33} = 0. Then : \sigma_{11} = \cfrac{2C_1}{J^{5/3}}\left(\lambda^2 - \tfrac{J}{\lambda}\right) Equating the two expressions for \sigma_{11} gives a relation for J as a function of \lambda, i.e., : \cfrac{4C_1}{3J^{5/3}}\left(\lambda^2 - \tfrac{J}{\lambda}\right) + 2D_1(J-1) = \cfrac{2C_1}{J^{5/3}}\left(\lambda^2 - \tfrac{J}{\lambda}\right) or : D_1 J^{8/3} - D_1 J^{5/3} + \tfrac{C_1}{3\lambda} J - \tfrac{C_1\lambda^2}{3} = 0 The above equation can be solved numerically using a
Newton–Raphson iterative root-finding procedure.
Incompressible neo-Hookean material (1), neo-Hookean solid(2) and
Mooney-Rivlin solid models(3) Under uniaxial extension, \lambda_1 = \lambda\, and \lambda_2 = \lambda_3 = 1/\sqrt{\lambda}. Therefore, : \sigma_{22} - \sigma_{33} = 0 where \varepsilon_{11}=\lambda-1 is the engineering
strain. This equation is written as : \sigma_{11}^{\mathrm{true}}= 2C_1 \left(\lambda^2 - \cfrac{1}{\lambda}\right) The equation above is for the
true stress (ratio of the elongation force to deformed cross-section). For the
engineering stress the equation is: :\sigma_{11}^{\mathrm{eng}}= \frac{1}{\lambda} \sigma_{11}^{\mathrm{true}}; \sigma_{11}^{\mathrm{eng}}= 2C_1 \left(\lambda - \cfrac{1}{\lambda^2}\right) For small deformations \varepsilon \ll 1 we will have: :\sigma_{11}= 6C_1 \varepsilon = 3\mu\varepsilon Thus, the equivalent
Young's modulus of a neo-Hookean solid in uniaxial extension is 3\mu, which is in concordance with linear elasticity (E=2\mu(1+\nu) with \nu=0.5 for incompressibility). == Equibiaxial extension ==
