Hyperelastic materials, also known as Green elastic materials, are a class of materials that exhibit elastic behavior over large strains. They are characterized by a strain energy density function that describes how the material deforms under stress. Unlike linear elastic materials, which only return to their original shape after small deformations (typically under 5% strain), hyperelastic materials can undergo large strains and still return to their original configuration when the load is removed.
