Abstract

The governing equations for small-on-large analysis of an incompressible hyperelastic solid are reduced to a coupled system of six first-order ordinary differential equations with respect to the radial coordinate in spherical polar coordinates. This reduction to Stroh form does not assume a particular form for the strain-energy function.
