Extension and torsion of rubber-like hollow and solid circular cylinders for incompressible isotropic hyperelastic materials with limiting chain extensibility

In this paper we demonstrate the application of a newly proposed generalised neo-Hookean strain energy function within the family of limiting chain extensibility models to the problem of extension and torsion in incompressible isotropic rubber-like tubes and solid circular cylinders. We consider a general deformation involving extension and torsion in tubes, and subsequently specialise to the simple torsion of solid cylinders. Expressions for...
