Put and use reference cylindrical coordinates and current coordinates . The deformation map is , , . In the associated orthonormal bases its deformation gradient is
Its determinant is one, as required by incompressibility. The radial principal stretch is . The other two squared principal stretches are the eigenvalues of the tangential-axial block of :
Writing , they are
The positive square roots give , and .
The strain energy density is per reference volume, so the energy per height is
The work rates per height are from the end torque and from the inner pressure. The outer surface contributes no work because it is traction free, and the fixed height has zero axial work. Thus the virtual work identities for twist and inflation of an incompressible tube are
For a neo-Hookean solid, an irrelevant energy constant can be omitted:
Differentiating under the finite integral gives
An antiderivative divided by is . With , the neo-Hookean tube pressure under twist and inflation is therefore
It vanishes for an untwisted undeformed tube, and the twist contributes the last term at fixed radii.
