Question:
Consider a deformation of rubber balloon. Initially it is cylindrically shaped with the radius a and the length 2b (blue) with a very small initial thickness T (i.e., T << a < b). It is then blown up to shape as a sphere with the radius 2b (red). Its axisymmetrical (independent of angle) deformation in the polar/cylindrical coordinates is, Z, z

Ignore the deformation at top (dashed line) and bottom. The deformation gradient tensor in the polar coordinates is,

R is measured from the Z axis (not from the origin)
and points outward from the Z axis.
First find the deformed coordinates (r = ?, z = ?) of points A (R = a, Z = 0) and B (R = a, Z = b), (ignore Θ, θ). Then compute Fcyl and its Jacobian J. Express the area change ratio (ds/dS) along
