Chemo-mechanical　coupling　behavior　of　materials　is　a　transformation　process　between　mechanical　and　chemical　energy.　In　this　paper,　based　on　the　coupled　chemo-mechanical　constitutive　equations　and　governing　equations　during　isothermal　process,　the　equivalent　integral　forms　of　chemo-mechanical　coupling　governing　equations　and　corresponding　finite　element　procedure　are　obtained　by　using　Hamilton＇s　principle.　An　isoparametric　plane　element　for　chemo-mechanical　coupling　is　associated　into　ABAQUS　finite　element　package　through　user　element　subroutine　UEL.　The　numerical　examples　exhibit　that　the　ionic　concentration　variation　can　cause　mechanical　deformation　and　mechanical　action　can　produce　redistribution　of　ionic　concentration　for　hydrogels.　It　is　proved　that　the　present　developed　chemo-mechanical　coupling　finite　element　procedure　can　be　utilized　to　model　the　coupling　behavior　of　hydrogels　effectively.
