How to develop a new constitutive model from scratch?

Dear all iMechanica,I wonder if there is any good material on constitutive modeling that explains how to develop a new constitutive model from scratch, e.g. from the experimental data say uniaxial tension and compression. Where should one start to develop a new constitutive model? What laws should the model obey?These questions perhaps are addressed in many continuum mechanics text books. but I am looking for materials that explain in a concise (short) and easy to understand way. Perhaps some good constitutive modeling papers, or some lecture notes? Any hints will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
