摘要

This study provides an example demonstrating that a universal deformation does not constrain the shape of a body. We show that bending, inflation, azimuthal shearing, and expansion or contraction of the major radius of a toroidal sector belong to the class of Family 5 deformations. Therefore, this family of universal deformations for incompressible isotropic solids is not restricted to an annular wedge. The proposed example is shown to be a family of inhomogeneous deformations in which the Cauchy deformation tensor has constant principal invariants — a property which is found only in the Family 5 class of deformations.
