Implementation of Hencky’s elasticity model in Abaqus UELs for robust modelling of finite deformation

Hencky’s elasticity model extends Hooke’s law from infinitesimal to large deformation and has been shown to accurately describe the mechanical behavior of materials at moderately large deformation. However, the native implementation of Hencky's model in Abaqus yields poor converg...
