# Abaqus Hyperelastic and Viscoelastic Materials
## Definition
Abaqus hyperelastic and viscoelastic material models describe large-strain recoverable response and time- or frequency-dependent response, especially for rubberlike materials and elastomeric foams.
## How It Works
Hyperelastic models use strain energy potentials to describe finite-strain elastic response. The source lists rubberlike isotropic hyperelasticity, elastomeric foams, and anisotropic hyperelastic behavior. Rubberlike materials are often nearly incompressible, so Abaqus/Standard commonly requires hybrid continuum elements for highly confined nearly incompressible cases, while Abaqus/Explicit requires explicit compressibility because it cannot enforce exact incompressibility at each material point.
The guide also covers stress softening and dissipation in elastomers. Mullins-effect modeling reduces stiffness after prior loading; elastomeric foam energy dissipation and permanent set models capture hysteretic or residual effects.
Viscoelastic behavior appears in time-domain and frequency-domain forms. Time-domain models use relaxation behavior, while frequency-domain models describe storage and loss response. Nonlinear viscoelastic capabilities include hysteresis in elastomers and the parallel rheological framework.
## Why It Matters
Elastomer and foam models are strongly tied to nonlinear geometry, incompressibility, test-data calibration, and dissipation. A stable element and procedure choice is part of the material model, not a separate afterthought.
## Connections
- [[Hybrid Incompressible Elements]] are often required for nearly incompressible hyperelastic solids in Abaqus/Standard.
- [[Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis]] supplies the finite-strain and contact-capable solution setting these models usually need.
- [[Abaqus Thermal Expansion and Damping Materials]] connects thermal expansion and damping behavior that may be combined with elastomer models.
