Twist and inflation of an incompressible tube

ID: twist-and-inflation-of-an-incompressible-tube

In cylindrical orthonormal bases the deformation gradient is and has unit determinant. One principal stretch is ; the squares of the other two are the roots of . The reference-volume energy per height is . Virtual work gives end torque and inner pressure at fixed reference radii and height.
