As part of our thesis, we used the finite element method and Abaqus software to evaluate
the performance of existing rheological models for simulating the response of hyperelastic
materials. We subjected these materials to various loading states, such as creep, cyclic
loading and relaxation, and monitored their response. We also performed a convergence
analysis. Hyperelastic materials were defined using the Neo-Hook's law and the Ogden
model. We found that the Neo-Hook's model provides a satisfactory description of the
material at smaller deformations, while the Ogden model is more suitable for larger
deformations, as it better describes the behavior of hyperelastic materials. We compared
experimental data and numerical analyses and identified similarities and differences based
on the results obtained.
