We consider the application of complex variable method to
elastic problem and investigate the nonlinear effect of finite torsion of a
compressible elastic composite layer. We obtain that as a result of finite
deformation approach, a tube subjected to torsion decreases in radius giving
rise to a “hold effect”.
