I have started using Ansys to analyse a hyperelastic hydrogel. Unfortunately I do not have access to tensile test equipment and need a relevent set of Mooney Rivlin constants for a similar material. Can anyone suggest a source or data? The material has the following properties: Poissons ratio 0.18 and Youngs Modulus 2.7 MPa.

Many thanks
