... to a slightly pressurized configuration is computed with the aid of finite element interpolation. Based on the stress-strain characteristics, the Ogden model is employed to describe the material behavior. The elastic parameters at every Gauss point in a selected region are identified simultaneously. To verify...

These wave modes, in one of the two mutually orthogonal directions for two-dimensional transient elastodynamics, are then used to enrich the Lagrangian interpolation functions in context of displacement-based finite element. The equilibrium equation...
