Abstract
The obtained stress-strain curves reveal highly nonlinear but isotropic behaviour. A significant amount of inter- and intra-specimen variability is noticed, whereby the latter does not seem to be influenced by location. The GOH model achieves the best fit of the individual test data. A simple Neo-Hookean model can only be used with extreme caution, as it does not manage to capture the nonlinear effects present even at low strains.
