Struct EightChain 

pub struct EightChain<T>
where
    T: SingleChainThermodynamics,
{
    pub bulk_modulus: Scalar,
    pub shear_modulus: Scalar,
    pub single_chain_model: T,
}

The eight-chain hyperelastic solid constitutive model.

Parameters

• The bulk modulus $\kappa$.
• The shear modulus $\mu$.
• The single-chain model.

External variables

• The deformation gradient $\mathbf{F}$.

Internal variables

• None.

Notes

• The nondimensional Helmholtz free energy of a chain is $\beta\psi(\gamma)$.
• The nondimensional end-to-end length per link of a chain is $\gamma=\sqrt{\mathrm{tr}(\mathbf{B}^*)/3N_b}$.
• The nondimensional force is given by the inverse Langevin function as $\eta=\mathcal{L}^{-1}(\gamma)$.
• The initial values are given by $\gamma_0=\sqrt{1/3N_b}$ and $\eta_0=\mathcal{L}^{-1}(\gamma_0)$.
• The eight-chain model reduces to the Neo-Hookean model when $N_b\to\infty$.

Fields
