A three-dimensional model for the simulation of anisotropic soft biological tissues is discussed. The underlying constitutive equations account for large strain deformations and are based on a hyper-elastic form. As various soft biological tissues are nearly incompressible, we adopt the classical volumetric-isochoric split of the strain energy density. While its isotropic part is chosen to take a...
