In this blog, the hyperelastic behaviour modelling in Abaqus will be discussed.  This will be implemented by fitting relevant experimental data with appropriate strain potential energy functions that are built-in in Abaqus and deciding on the function that best models the rubber materials behaviour. Additionally a finite element model will be demonstrated, wherein the designated material behaviour will be show cased.

Last but not least, in the process of explaining relevant aspects  of hyperelastic material modelling with Abaqus, various suggestions and good practices will be shared.
