Topological sensitivity analysis for a two-parameter Mooney-Rivlin hyperelastic constitutive model

The Topological Sensitivity Analysis (TSA) is represented by a scalar function, called Topological Derivative (TD), that gives for each point of the domain the sensitivity of a given cost function when an infinitesimal hole is created. Applications to the Laplace, Poisson, Helmoltz, Navier, Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations can be found in the literature. In the present work, an approximated TD expression applied to nonlinear hyperelasticity using the two parameter Mooney-Rivlin constitutive model is obtained by a numerical asymptotic analysis. The cost function is the total potential energy ...
