Stresses interpretation ABAQUS
Mon, 2013-04-08 16:55 - maverick_269
Why do some strain energy density (SED) function have 1 invariant (like neo-Hookean) while some others have both 1st and 2nd invariant like mooney-rivlin? is there a specific reason behind using 1st invariant in SED vs all invariants in the SED?

Forms for hyperelasticity
For well-written, concise overviews, see
MC Boyce and EM Arruda, Rubber Chemistry and Technology, 73, 504, 2000.
RS Rivlin Rubber Chemistry and Technology, 65 51 1992.
Long story short:
I1 measures average length change of material fibers in all possible directions surrounding a material point
I2 measures average area change of material planes of all possible orientations passing through a material point
At small strains, it turns out that I1 and I2 are linearly dependent on each other (see Criscione, J. C., Humphrey, J. D., Douglas, A. S., & Hunter, W. C. (2000). An invariant basis for natural strain which yields orthogonal stress response terms in isotropic hyperelasticity. Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 48(12), 2445-2465. )
The originators of finite strain theories of elasticity defined W as a function of I1 and I2 (and I3 (volume ratio)) for the sake of generality in their formulation. However, in practice, it has often been found convenient, and sometimes accurate to neglect dependence on I2. The argument for neglecting I2 was perhaps stated best here:
