Abstract
A practical method for determining the mechanical behaviour of a highly ela stic material over a large strain range has been developed. This method fit s laboratory test data to Mooney-Rivlin curves to obtain a material propert y representation. This representation is then used to analyse the test case (using the finite element method) and so validate the results. (C) 2001 El sevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
