jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 d586d84859 verification: hyperelastic and thermal oracle cases and documentation
Five cases against closed forms: a Mooney-Rivlin block in Treloar's
uniaxial, equibiaxial and pure-shear modes and a Yeoh block in uniaxial
tension (the compressible energy's stresses, exact); a stretched
Mooney-Rivlin tube inflated by a follower pressure (Rivlin's incompressible
solution, 0.6 % at nu = 0.4995); free and fully held thermal expansion at a
thermal stretch of 1.2 (exact); a bar held at its ends heated past yield
(exact). docs/fem.md, the literature, ROADMAP (M15, M17), parity and the
oracle page follow.

Mooney–Rivlin block in Treloar's three modes

One hybrid hex20 unit cube on three symmetry planes, E = 3, ν = 0.49 (μ = 1.006711, κ = 50), Mooney–Rivlin with C₀₁ = 0.2 (C₁₀ = μ/2 − C₀₁ = 0.303356), in three nonlinear static steps:

  • Uniaxial: the face x = 1 pulled to λ = 2, the others free.
  • Equibiaxial: x = 1 and y = 1 pulled to λ = 1.5, z free.
  • Pure shear: x = 1 pulled to λ = 2, y = 1 held (λ_y = 1), z free.

The references are the compressible decoupled energy's principal Cauchy stresses σᵢ = (λᵢ/J) ∂W/∂λᵢ, by differences of W alone, with the free stretch found by bisection so the free faces carry no stress. The deformation is homogeneous, so the element represents it exactly.
