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 …

This paper investigates the impacts of residual stress and viscoelasticity on the bifurcation
and post-bifurcation behaviors of dielectric elastomer tube actuator (DETA) with finite …

This paper studies the bifurcation behavior in an inflated bilayer tube of arbitrary thickness
under inflation and uni-axial extension. It is assumed that both layers are composed of the …

We consider a tubular membrane whose mechanical behavior is defined by a strain energy
density function that combines the neo-Hookean model with the Demiray model. Both, the …

In this investigation, employing the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient,
both analytically and numerically thermomechanical analysis of a hyperelastic thick-walled …

The main purpose of the present research is the investigation of the stress and displacement
distributions of the internally pressurized thick-walled hyperelastic cylindrical vessels or …

We study the crease instability of an incompressible Gent-Gent elastomer under general
loading conditions. The Gent-Gent model has two distinct characteristics: the logarithmic …

We study a bilayer tube subject to inflation and axial stretching to reveal the effects of s,
which is the ratio of the shear modulus of the outer layer to that of the inner layer, the …

We study the initiation, evolution, and propagation of localized bulging in a pressurized
heperelastic tube where the elastic modulus is non-uniform in the radial direction. The …

Inflatable deployable structures inspired by origami have significant applications in space
missions such as solar arrays and antennas. In this paper, a generalized Miura-ori tubular …
