Abstract
⺠The problem of a spherical gel subjected to a dilatation is investigated. ⺠Analytical solutions are found within the framework of second-order elasticity. ⺠Stresses, displacements and energy are computed from five elastic constants. ⺠It is found that the physical quantities may be dominated by nonlinear components. ⺠The closed-form solutions permit a detailed study of the physical behaviors.
