The model was proposed by w:Melvin Mooney and w:Ronald Rivlin in two independent papers in 1952.
Comparison of experimental results (dots) and predictions for w:Hooke's law (1, blue line), w:Neo-Hookean solid (2, red line) and Mooney-Rivlin solid models(3, green line) For the case of uniaxial elongation, true stress can be calculated as:

{\displaystyle T_{11}=\left(2C_{1}+{\frac {2C_{2}}{\alpha _{1}}}\right)\left(\alpha _{1}^{2}-\alpha _{1}^{-1}\right)}

{\displaystyle T_{11eng}=\left(2C_{1}+{\frac {2C_{2}}{\alpha _{1}}}\right)\left(\alpha _{1}-\alpha _{1}^{-2}\right)}
The Mooney-Rivlin solid model usually fits experimental data better than w:Neo-Hookean solid does, but requires an additional empirical constant.
Elastic response of rubber-like materials are often modelled based on the Mooney-Rivlin model.
