ANSYS experimental data

HI

I have to do a simulation of a elastomer compresed betweend two plates. And I don't have any material constant like C10, C20, C30, d1, d2, d3. My material model is Yeoh. I have any type of elastomer. Could you tell me where can I find some constant?

First note that there is experimental data available on the Materials and Methods (http://www.polymerfem.com/modules.php?name=Materials_Models) section of this web site. Some of the experimental data has been used to calibrate the Yeoh model, for example, see the following data (http://www.polymerfem.com/modules.php?name=Materials_Models&material=6).

The Yeoh parameters are listed in the figure. The order of the parameters is: C10, C20, C30, kappa.

As an example, for a particular type of neoprene: C10=0.175, C20=-5.6e-5, C30=0.002, kappa=500.
