<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The Arruda and Boyce eight-chain network constitutive model for rubber elastic materials is compared to the new Gent constitutive model for rubber elasticity. The salient features of each of the two models are compared. The ability of both models to predict three dimensional large strain deformation is demonstrated showing the near equivalence of these two model constructions as well as their abilities to predict complex three-dimensional deformation with only two material constants.</jats:p>
