Abstract
⺠Two exact integrals for the finite motion of a load supported by hyperelastic springs are derived. ⺠Inertia of the springs is included, and a general relation for the small amplitude frequency follows. ⺠Periodicity for arbitrary finite motions is proved for all hyperelastic springs with monotone engineering stress. ⺠The exact closed form finite amplitude solution is obtained for the neo-Hookean material. ⺠The period is given by the Heuman lambda function, and the overall system behavior is discussed.
