linear elastic material with nonlinear young's modulus

WhatDifference:same stress-strain curve for linear elastic material with nonlinear young's modulus and hyperelastic material

Submitted by Xiaogai Li on

Hi everyone,

Now I am trying to implement Ogden model in Comsol Multiphysics, but I had some problem.

Then I realized that in Comsol, it's possible to implement a nonlinear young's modulus.

But I am a little confused.

If you have a nonlinear Young's modulus, in the stress-strain curve, E is the tangent of this curve.

For hyperelastic material, let's say Ogden material. It's usually a nonlinear stress-strain curve as well.
