On tube models of rubber elasticity: fitting performance in relation to sensitivity to the invariant I2 by Kumar, G, Brassart, L

“…The performance of various tube formulations is analysed in relation to their implicit (or in some cases explicit) dependence on the second invariant I₂. We show that micromechanical models that involve the area-stretch of the macroscale continuum lead to I₂ dependence when combined with the full-network averaging scheme, whereas micromechanical models that only involve the line-stretch of the continuum show much weaker I₂ sensitivity. …”
