Abstract
A nonlinear hyperelastic elastic material has one of the simplest constitutive equations because the stress response is determined algebraically by derivatives of a strain energy function. However, the nonlinear partial differential equations which describe the deformation of an elastic material are intractable analytically for most problems. Therefore, numerical methods are essential to obtain solutions of realistic problems.
