This paper presents a formulation for material and geometrical nonlinear analysis of composite materials by immersion of truss finite elements into triangular 2D solid ones using a novel formulation of the finite element method based on positions. This positional formulation uses the shape functions to approximate some quantities defined in the Nonlinear Theory of Elasticity and proposes to describe the specific strain energy and the potential of the external loads as function of nodal positions which are set from a deformation function. Because the nodal positions have current values in each node, this method naturally considers the geometric nonlinearities while the nonlinear relationships between stress and strain may be considered by a pure nonlinear elastic theory called hyperelasticity which allows to obtain linearised constitutive laws in its variational form. This formulation should be able to include both viscoelastic and active behavior, as well as to allow the consideration of nonlinear relations between stresses and deformations. It is common to adopt hyperelastic constitutive laws. Few are the works that use the strategy of approaching the problem such as fibers immersed in a matrix. The immersion of fibers in the matrix makes it possible to include both a viscoelastic behavior in a simple and direct way. The examples are simple cases, some of them even with analytical solutions, mainly for validation purposes of the presented formulations. By modeling a structure, the examples show the potentialities of the concepts and proposed formulations.
