Mooney-Rivlin Equation

[Sperling-407] [Williams-269] [surprise! Flory doesn't have it]
[Rodriguez-201 (his looks different!)]

and

are probably constants. I haven't seen names for them, though.

is retractive stress

is extension ratio

The Mooney-Rivlin equation appears very similar to the Equation of State for Rubber Elasticity but [Sperling-401] points out that it was derived differently.
