For the axisymmetric deformation map, take , , and . A reference cylindrical shell of unit axial length has volume , and the corresponding current shell has volume . Elastic incompressibility therefore gives .
Integrating from the inner surface, where , gives . The positive radius is consequently
The outer surface is not an additional independent unknown: , and hence .
