Required - Verification test for Incompressible hyperelastic models
Hi,
I am working with a finite element code implemented in C++ in my research group. Recentl I implemneted an incompressible finite strain element.
Currently I am making use of verification tests to check whether my element runs accurately for various hyperelastic strain-energy models. I have succesfully completed a verification test using the Mooney-rivlin strain-energy density function. However, I have been unable to find verification/benchmark tests which I may use to test other strain-energy density functions.
Could anyone provide me with a link( any FEA commercial software manual or a journal paper) to a verification test for imcompressible materials using any of the following strain-energy density dunctions :
Gent
Arruda-Boyce
Neo-Hookean
Kirchhoff
Thank you.

Re: Verification tests
The easiest way is to use manufactured solutions. For the basic concept see http://www.imechanica.org/node/1357 and
