Résumé / Abstract

A review of constitutive models for the finite deformation response of rubbery materials is given. Several recent and classic statistical mechanics and continuum mechanics models of incompressible rubber elasticity are discussed and compared to experimental data. A hybrid of the Flory-Erman model for low stretch deformation and the Arruda-Boyce model for large stretch deformation is shown to give an accurate, predictive description of Treloar's classical data over the entire stretch range for all deformation states. The modeling of compressibility is also addressed.
