A structure-based constitutive equation for rubberlike networks is proposed. It is obtained by combining the Langevin-statistics-based theory of Arruda and Boyce (AB) with a term based on the first invariant of the generalized deformation tensor which follows from some theoretical treatments of the constraint effect. The combined (ABGI) four-parameter strain-energy function has been found to give (with the exception of the very-low strain region) a very good description (deviations < 5-8%) of a representative selection of published biaxial stress-strain data obtained on networks of isoprene and natural rubbers at low and medium strains. For the description of biaxial extension data up to high strains, the concept of a strain-induced increase in the network mesh size (strain-dependent finite extensibility parameter) used previously for tensile strains, is shown to apply generally to all deformation modes. It also enables a prediction of the retraction behavior. Reasonable values were obtained for the network parameters; the exponent in the strain invariant assumes values at the higher limit of the Kaliske and Heinrich extended tube theory prediction or even somewhat outside the limits.
