+===== EightChainHyperPotential =====
+=== Description ===
+The deviatoric part of the isotropic Eight-Chain (or Arruda-Boyce) hyperelastic law writes
+$$
+            W^e_{EC}\left( \bar{\lambda^*}, \theta_0\right) = N k_B \theta_0 n \left[\frac{\bar{\lambda^*}}{\sqrt{n}}\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left[\frac{\bar{\lambda^*}}{\sqrt{n}}\right] + \text{ln}\left(\frac{\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left[\frac{\bar{\lambda^*}}{\sqrt{n}}\right]}{\text{sinh }\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left[\frac{\bar{\lambda^*}}{\sqrt{n}}\right]}\right)\right],
+$$ where $N$ is the number of chains per unit volume, $k_B$ is Boltzmann constant, $\theta_0$ is the reference temperature, $n$ is the number of chains and $\mathcal{L}^{-1}$ is the inverse Langevin function.
+$\bar{\lambda^*}$ is the effective distortional stretch and writes
+$$
+    \bar{\lambda}^*=\sqrt{\frac{\bar{I}_1}{3}}.
+$$
+The Cauchy stress writes
+$$
+    \boldsymbol{\sigma}=\frac{\mu}{J \bar{\lambda}^*}\frac{\mathcal{L}\left(\frac{\bar{\lambda}^*}{\lambda^{lock}}\right)}{\mathcal{L}\left(\frac{1}{\lambda^{lock}}\right)}\text{dev}\left(\bar{\mathbf{B}}\right),
+$$
+where the locking stretch $\lambda_{lock}=\sqrt{n}$ and shear modulus
+$$
+\mu = \frac{N k_B\theta_0}{3}\lambda^{lock} \mathcal{L}^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\lambda^{lock}}\right)
+$$
+have been introduced to simplify the formulation.

+===== GeneralizedMaxwellHyperPotential =====
-===== CombinedElasticPotential =====
 === Description ===
-The ''CombinedElasticPotential'' material law allows to combine two deviatoric hyperelastic potentials together as
+In the rheological analogy, the generalized Maxwell visco-elastic model consists in a main [[doc:user:elements:volumes:hyper_dev_potential|elastic deviatoric potential]] (main spring) put in parallel with several Maxwell branches, which are made of a spring and a damper in series. Each Maxwell branch must be defined using the [[doc:user:elements:volumes:hyper_dev_branchl|Maxwell branch material law]].
+{{ :doc:user:references:materials:maxwellgrid.png?400 |}}
+The Cauchy stress in the current configuration writes
 $$
-\boldsymbol{\sigma}^e = \boldsymbol{\sigma}^e_1 + \boldsymbol{\sigma}^e_2
+\boldsymbol{\sigma}^{n+1} = \boldsymbol{\sigma}^{n+1}_0+ \sum_{j=1}^N \mathbf{h}_j^{n+1},
 $$
-This can be illustrated using the following analogous rheological element
+where $\boldsymbol{\sigma}_0$ is the stress in the main elastic branch and $\mathbf{h}_j$ is the non-equilibrium stress from Maxwell branch $j$.

-The main purpose of this element is to create anisotropic hyperelastic materials, as they are often composed of an isotropic (generally a Neo-Hookean) matrix component and an anisotropic fibrous component (see [[doc:user:elements:volumes:hyper_functionbased|anisotropic material examples]]). Nonetheless, this material law can also be used to add two or more deviatoric potentials, since ''CombinedElasticPotential'' can combine with itself.
