Extract

In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour of large deformations of nonlinearly elastic, noncircular rings under internal hydrostatic pressure. These rings can undergo flexure, extension, and shear. Their governing equations are the same as those for the inflation of cylindrical shells.
