A mixed higher order FEM for fully coupled compressible transversely isotropic finite hyperelasticity (Q1663840)

The paper presents a higher order mixed finite element method for compressible transversely isotropic finite hyperelasticity. The three-field formulation is proposed to describe a fully coupled stress response which evolves from an almost isotropic one into a hyper-anisotropic simply nearly inextensible response with increasing fibre tension. A residual based error estimation and an \(hp\)-adaptive finite element method are used for implementation. Coupled and uncoupled stress responses are compared.
