Abstract
We consider the axisymmetric deformations of an initially cylindrical membrane composed of an elastic, homogeneous, isotropic and incompressible material possessing a strain energy function and reinforced by two families of perfectly flexible and inextensible helicoidal cords. The solutions obtained include a wide range of deformations and they are valid for the general strain energy function. Applications to specific boundary-value problems are also given.
