Generate the three-dimensional, eight node finite element for the analysis of hyperelastic solid problems. The element has the following characteristics:
⇒ hexahedral topology,
⇒ 8 nodes,
⇒ isoparametric mapping from the reference to the actual frame,
global unknowns are displacements of the nodes,
![]()
enhanced strain formulation to improve shear and volumetric locking response,


where
are internal degrees of freedom eliminated at the element level.
the classical hyperelastic Neo-Hooke's potential energy,
,
where
is right Cauchy-Green tensor, F=I+D is enhanced deformation gradient.
