In the past decade, the development of theory has deeply revealed the electromechanical
coupling deformation mechanism of dielectric elastomer (DE). Many theoretical predictions …

This monograph presents a general mathematical theory for biological growth. It provides
both a conceptual and a technical foundation for the understanding and analysis of …

We derive a one-dimensional (1d) model for the analysis of bulging or necking in an inflated
hyperelastic tube of finite wall thickness from the three-dimensional (3d) finite elasticity …

We study localized bulging of a cylindrical hyperelastic tube of arbitrary thickness when it is
subjected to the combined action of inflation and axial extension. It is shown that with the …

We consider a cylindrical membrane that consists of an isotropic ground substance and
fibers symmetrically arranged in two helically distributed families which are mechanically …

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the nonlinear vibration response of a pre-
stretched hyperelastic membrane subjected to finite deformations and a time-varying lateral …

This paper reports an energy-based method for the dynamic pull-in instability analysis of a
spherical dielectric elastomer (DE) balloon subjected to a quasi-statically applied inflation …

An experimental study is conducted on localized bulging of inflated latex rubber tubes of a
range of wall thicknesses and tube lengths, guided by newly emerged analytical results. In …

When a rubber tube with free ends is inflated under volume control, the pressure will first
reach a maximum and then decrease monotonically to approach a constant asymptote. The …

A numerical procedure to analyze bifurcation and post-bifurcation of a finite deformation
boundary-value problem for a residually-stressed elastic body is studied. In particular, the …
