Summary In this work, the finite extension and torsion of a swollen elastic cylinder bonded to an inner rigid cylindrical core are investigated in the context of the theory of interacting continua. The boundary value problem is solved numerically in order to determine the variation of the stretch-ratios, the stresses and also the volume fraction of the solid. The results of these investigations not only demonstrate significant gradients in the stretch ratios and severe stress concentrations but also stress reversals under certain conditions. These stress reversals which occur in the neighborhood of the interface of the inner and outer cylinders can have a significant impact on damage studies pertaining to fiber/matrix debonding in fiber-reinforced composites, for example.
