In this thesis, the predictive capability of various rubber material models, namely the Mooney-Rivlin model, Arruda-Boyce model, Ogden model and the newly proposed Sussman-Bathe model, is investigated theoretically with continuum mechanics methods and tested numerically in various deformation situations using the finite element analysis software ADINA. In addition, a recently made available stability criterion of rubber material models is re-derived and verified through numerical experiments for the above four models with ADINA.

The Mooney-Rivlin model, Arruda-Boyce model, Ogden model have difficulties in describing the uniaxial compression data while the Sussman-Bathe model can fit both compression and extension data well. Thus, the Sussman-Bathe model has the best predictive capability for pure shear deformations. Furthermore, with respect to more complex non-homogenous deformations, a conclusion is drawn that all three major deformations, namely uniaxial deformation, biaxial deformation and pure shear deformation, must satisfy the stability criterion to obtain physically correct non-homogenous simulation results.","abstract_html":"Due to the high non-linearity and incompressibility constraint of rubber materials, the predictive capability and stability of rubber material models require specific attention for practical engineering analysis.
