Mooney-Rivlin Model
The Mooney-Rivlin model is a mathematical way to describe how rubber-like materials stretch and deform under stress. It uses specific equations with parameters to predict how the material behaves when pulled or compressed, especially large deformations. This model helps engineers design and analyze products like tires or seals by accurately representing the material's elasticity. Essentially, it provides a reliable framework for understanding and predicting the complex, nonlinear response of soft, stretchy materials under various forces.
