What is the relationship between shear strength and tensile strength in rubber materials?

Rubbers [elastomers] have tests similar to metals... but their individual tensile/shear @strain-deformation are highly dependent on their chemistry/cure/form/reinforcing fibers, etc.

NOTHING simple/linear about this answer... which is why no-one has replied.
