    Strains and stresses in a cylinder

    Hi,

    Can anyone point me in the right direction with this question?

    An isotropic elastic circular cylinder of radius a is fitted inside a rigid cylindrical case of inner radius a. The contact is perfectly smooth, so that there are no tangentail traction T per unit area over each end. Assuming that Poisson's ratio is positive, evaluate the strains and stresses in the cylinder when:

    i) T>0
    ii) T<0
    iii) What difference would it make if Poisson's ratio were negative?

    This is a maths question, it is part of my coursework for my maths degree.
