  4. Abstract:
  5. Hyperelastic behavior of isotropic incompressible rubbers are studied to develop a strain energy function. The proposed function includes only three material parameters which are related to physical properties of the material molecular network. Furthermore, the model benefits from well suitting in all ranges of stretch as well as possessing the property of deformation mode independency. This reduces the required number of experimental tests for parameter calibration. Results of the model are compared with results of Mooney-Rivlin, Arruda-Boyce, Gent and Gao models as well as the experimental data
