This paper focuses on the modeling of rubber-like material behaviour under several modes of deformation using hyperelastic constitutive equations. A procedure based on genetic algorithms coupled to classical optimisation methods is proposed to identify the parameters of the models upon experimental data given in the literature. This leads to the classification of nineteen models with respect to criteria related to their capability to predict material behaviour.
