Abstract

This paper is concerned with the torsion of isotropic chiral Cosserat elastic cylinders. First, the generalized plane strain problem is defined and an existence result is presented. Then, the three-dimensional problem is reduced to the study of some generalized plane strain problems. In general, the torsion of the cylinder is accompanied by bending and extension. The method is applied to study the torsion of a circular cylinder.
