Abstract
An assumed strain mixed finite element method for fully nonlinear problems in solid mechanics, restricted to rubber-like materials is presented. The method relies on a local multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into a conforming and an enhanced part, formulated in the context of a three field variational formulation. This method has been implemented in 3D rubber-solid mechanics computation software. The performance of the proposed methodology is illustrated in a number of simulations and compared with a standard method. This method appears to be specially well suited when the bending is preponderant.
