The work continues some earlier investigations into dynamic properties of prestressed incompressible elastic materials. Whereas the material was previously assumed to be a Mooney material, it is here allowed to have any strain energy function. Plane wave propagation and the motions caused by an impulsive line of traction are examined. The results obtained are compared with the earlier work.

An elastic cylinder spinning about a rigid axis buckles beyond a critical angular velocity, by an instability driven by the centrifugal force. This instability and the competition between the different buckling modes are investigated using analytical calculations in the linear and weakly nonlinear regimes, complemented by numerical simulations in the fully post-buckled regime. The weakly nonlinear analysis is carried out for a generic incompressible hyperelastic material. The key role played by the quadratic term in the expansion of the strain energy density is pointed out: this term has a strong effect on both the nature of the bifurcation, which can switch from supercritical to subcritical, and the buckling amplitude. Given an arbitrary hyperelastic material, an equivalent shear modulus is proposed, allowing the main features of the instability to be captured by an equivalent neo-Hookean model.
