Structural instabilities can be used to provide rapid responses activated by mechanical force
or displacement thresholds. The emergence of responsive materials has opened the door …

This article presents the potentiality of inflatable, functionally-graded auxetic membranes to
produce wrinkles and necks. We obtain elastic instabilities at desired locations in …

The inflation of hyperelastic thin shells is a highly nonlinear problem that arises in multiple
important engineering applications. It is characterised by severe kinematic and constitutive …

In the present work, a nonlinear coupled electro-magneto-elastic membrane formulation is
developed for soft functional materials starting from the variational form of 3D governing …

We analyse here the problem of large deformation of dielectric elastomeric membranes
under coupled electromechanical loading. Extremely large deformations (enclosed volume …

We develop a theoretical model that can predict the mechanical behavior of magneto-active
elastic hemispherical shells under arbitrary magnetic fields and verify it with experiments …

The dynamics of electromagnetoactive polymer (EMAP) membranes have attracted much
attention recently because of their wide range of modern robotic applications. Such …

This work presents the development of a 2D nonlinear magnetoelastic framework for a thin
membrane undergoing large deformations. An asymptotic O (h) theory is obtained, starting …

This paper presents an asymptotic two-dimensional (2D) finite-deformation theory for a thin
magnetoelastic sheet starting from a three-dimensional (3D) variational form. This theory is …

An axisymmetric and axially homogenous variational formulation is presented for coupled
extension-torsion-inflation deformation in compressible magnetoelastomeric tubes in the …
