Abstract
In the present contribution we propose a generalized hyperelastic model for fiber-reinforced structures. Along with the earlier generalized orthotropic hyperelastic formulation [1] this constitutive model forms a reliable basis for the adequate numerical simulation of various anisotropic materials at large elastic strains.
