This option is used to define a hyperfoam material. There is one optional parameters, N. N determines the order of the strain energy potential. Default is N=1. All constants may be temperature dependent.
The hyperfoam strain energy potential takes the form

...ha_i}+\lambda_3^{\alpha_i}-3+\frac{1}{\beta_i}(J^{-\alpha_i \beta_i}-1) \right]$](img1577.png) | (413) |
