Abstract

The three-dimensional model of the hyperelastic body under large strains is researched. A new strain measure, based on the QR-decomposition of the deformation gradient, is discussed. It is shown that this strain measure allows for more explicit analytical connections between different parameters of the stress–strain condition then the traditional approach. An example method of introducing this measure into numerical simulations for an arbitrary three-dimensional model with linear shape functions is presented.
