Nominal end traction of a twisted neo-Hookean cylinder

ID: nominal-end-traction-of-a-twisted-neo-hookean-cylinder

For axial stretch and twist per reference length, an incompressible neo-Hookean solid has current radius . In local cylindrical orthonormal bases the deformation gradient is . The Cauchy stress tensor is . Radial equilibrium gives , and a traction-free curved surface gives . The nominal end traction is the displayed vector, measured per reference area. Its moment about the axis is . This calculation uses current moment arms with reference-area tractions.
