Pure torsion of an incompressible cylinder

ID: pure-torsion-of-an-incompressible-cylinder

A deformation map twisting every cross-section of a cylinder through an angle proportional to its reference axial position, without radial or axial extension. In the local current and reference cylindrical coordinate systems, the deformation gradient is . Its determinant is one. The twist per unit reference length is ; an end separation gives end rotation . The physical torque is .
