    Basic Information on FEA of hyperelastic material

    Hi all

    Thanks in Advance.

    I have just started the FEA of Hyperelastic material. i.e we are in process of analysing car door seals ( weatherstrips).
    Before starting the analysis I need some reading reference/material which will clear my concepts like
    1) Differecne between Different rubber models.
    2) Selection criteria of rubber model
    3) Determination of different constants ( specifed in different models) from stress-strain data
    4) Polymer testing standard
    5) And case study which involves the Car door seal analysis.

    There are lots of references available that discusses those topics.

    Do you have any specific questions?
