Abstract
Within the context of finite, compressible, isotropic elasticity, a family of solutions describing plane strain cylindrical inflation of cylindrical shells is obtained for a class of materials that includes both the harmonic and Varga materials. Additionally it is shown that the class of materials chsen is the largest class of materials for which the family of solutions is possible.
