Thanks for the reply.
Basically, since the load was quite low, like 10% of the Young's modulus used in the computation of the Lame coefficients, I'd expect something very close to the results of linear elasticity. However, the code produced wildly varying results, i.e. higher loads would...
Hi,
I've written an FEM code based on hierarchical, isoparametric tetrahedral elements. Now, I'm having some serious problems getting the 3D version of my code to produce sensible results in a simple static simulation of the stretching of a bar consisting of neo-Hookean material. The test setup...
