Abstract
Constitutive equations that describe stress–strain relations of soft biological tissues require parameters such as the strain energy functions, or certain of their derivatives. An attempt has been made in this paper to examine the suitability of the various strain energy functions reported in the literature. Certain criteria are proposed for the same.Keywords
