How to calculate bulk modulus K of MAT 77H

      Hello,

      I am using MAT 77H now and I am trying to figure out the equation to calculate the bulk modulus K of volumetric strain energy term in Fig.3.


      From Fig1, In the MAT 77H, it seems that the system determines bulk modulus K in Fig.3 based on the NV(Poisson ratio) and the second row parameters:

      For the hyperelastic material MAT_077H the bulk modulus is calculated as
      bulk=(4./3.)*(c10+c01)*(1.+pr)/(1.-2.*pr)
      and the pressure is
      p=bulk*(1-J)
