The finite deformation of a hyperelastic, compressible and anisotropic tube
subjected to torsion, circular and axial shearing is studied. The analysis
is carried out for a class of Ogden elastic material and the governing non
-linear equations are solved numerically with the Runge-Kutta method. The s
olution is used to study the effects of a specific material model on the lo
cal volume change and the circumferential stretch ratio. (C) 2000 Elsevier
