Abstract
We describe a method for the approximate solution of nonlinear elasticity problems in the framework of finite deformation for the case of hyperelastic isotropic materials. This method enables one to write the resulting equations from the finite element method in analytical form, which reduces the amount of computations and simplifies the implementation. This approach is implemented for several types of hyperelastic materials used to describe the mechanical behavior of soft biological tissues.
