Multiplying the deformation gradient by its matrix transpose gives the left Cauchy-Green deformation tensor and its trace:
The derivative of the strain energy density is
For brevity put . Part (a) gives the Cauchy stress tensor, in the current cylindrical coordinate system orthonormal basis, as
In particular, the end-face shear stress is . The undetermined pressure affects the normal stresses but does not affect this shear stress. No normal traction conditions have been specified to determine .
