Eringen's theory(1) of homogeneous, isotropic, hyperelastic dielectric is applied to consider the effects of polarization on the surface tractions when a hollow cylindrical reinforced dielectric carrying a uniform surface charge at its inner surface is subjected to simultaneous large extension, inflation and torsion. New effects due to reinforcement and polarization have been observed separately. For vanishing charge, the results reduce to those of classical finite strain theory (2).
