It is proposed that alternative simple forms of stored energy function can be employed to model the non-linear material properties. For carbon black filled materials it is apparent that it is possible to obtain the relevant materials data from just a single materials test made in any of a number of simple homogeneous deformation modes. The approach is validated by taking materials data for simple shear measurements and using the data to predict the behaviour of compression mounts with a range of shape factors.
