Previous linear bifurcation analyses have evidenced that an axially stretched soft cylindrical tube may develop an infinite-wavelength (localised) instability when one or both of its lateral surfaces are under sufficient surface tension.…
We provide an extension to previous analysis of the localised beading instability of soft slender tubes under surface tension and axial stretching. The primary questions pondered here are: under what loading conditions, if any, can…
We provide an analytic derivation of the bifurcation conditions for localized bulging in an inflated hyperelastic tube of arbitrary wall thickness and axisymmetric necking in a hyperelastic sheet under equibiaxial stretching. It has…
Localized pattern formations and "two-phase" deformations are studied theoretically in soft compressible cylinders subject to surface tension and axial loading through several force-controlled loading scenarios. By drawing upon known…
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 pressure maximum corresponds to the initiation of a localised…
Buckling and barrelling instabilities in the uniaxial compressions of an elastic rectangle have been studied by many authors under lubricated end conditions. However, in practice it is very difficult to realize such conditions due to…
Necking localization under quasi-static uniaxial tension is experimentally observed in ductile thin-walled cylindrical tubes, made of soft polypropylene. Necking nucleates at multiple locations along the tube and spreads throughout,…
In this paper we present a dimensional reduction to obtain a one-dimensional model to analyze localized necking or bulging in a residually stressed circular cylindrical solid. The nonlinear theory of elasticity is first specialized to…
The buckling of hyperelastic incompressible cylindrical tubes of arbitrary length and thickness under compressive axial load is considered within the framework of nonlinear elasticity. Analytical and numerical methods for bifurcation are…
Lubricated sliding contact between soft solids is an interesting topic in biomechanics and for the design of small-scale engineering devices. As a model of this mechanical set-up, two elastic nonlinear solids are considered jointed through…
The necking instability is a precursor to tensile failure and rupture of materials. A quasistatically loaded free-standing uniaxial specimen typically exhibits necking at a single location, corresponding to a long wavelength bifurcation…
In this paper, we study the localization phenomena in a slender cylinder composed of an incompressible hyperelastic material subjected to axial tension. We aim to construct the analytical solutions based on a three-dimensional setting and…
Combining local bifurcation analysis with numerical continuation and bifurcation methods we study bifurcations from cylindrical vesicles described by the Helfrich equation with volume and area constraints, with a prescribed periodicity…
Pressurised cylindrical channels made of soft materials are ubiquitous in biological systems, soft robotics, and metamaterial designs. In this paper, we study large deformation of a long, thick-walled, and compressible hyperelastic…
We consider localised bulging/necking in an inflated hyperelastic membrane tube with closed ends. We first show that the initiation pressure for the onset of localised bulging is simply the limiting pressure in uniform inflation when the…
We investigate buckling of soft elastic capsules under negative pressure or for reduced capsule volume. Based on nonlinear shell theory and the assumption of a hyperelastic capsule membrane, shape equations for axisymmetric and initially…
Hierarchically structured cellular solids have attracted increasing attention for their superior mass-specific mechanical properties. Using a remeshing-based continuum finite element (FE) framework, we reveal that two-scale metallic…
We consider bifurcations from the homogeneous solution of a circular or square hyperelastic sheet that is subjected to equibiaxial stretching under either force- or displacement-controlled edge conditions. We derive the condition for…
We discuss the response of thin cylindrical tubes to small indentations. The stretching-free embedding of these surfaces is completely determined by the embedding of one edge curve, thus reducing their bending response to an effectively one…
This is the first study on the mode localization phenomenon in microbeams due to surface roughness. A new model for microbeams with rough surfaces is developed. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of cantilever, simple supported, and…
