In this Note, we propose a new hyperelastic model for rubber elastic solids applicable over the entire range of deformations. The underlying stored-energy function is a linear combination of the -based strain invariants , where α is a real number. The predictive capabilities of the model are illustrated via comparisons with experimental data available from the literature for a variety of rubbery solids. In addition, the key theoretical and practical strengths of the proposed stored-energy function are discussed.
