A study of mechanical and capillary bifurcation phenomena in soft elastic materials (2023)
Thesis
Emery, D. R. (2023). A study of mechanical and capillary bifurcation phenomena in soft elastic materials. (Thesis). Keele University

Stress-induced pattern formations in soft elastic materials are bifurcation phenomena which can be localized or periodic. Certain localized pattern formations such as necking or bulging are associated with zero wavenumber, whereas periodic pattern fo...

Localized bulging in an inflated hyperelastic tube: the effects of rotation, multi-layering and torsion (2020)
Thesis
Althobaiti, A. A. K. (2020). Localized bulging in an inflated hyperelastic tube: the effects of rotation, multi-layering and torsion. (Thesis). Keele University

In this thesis, we start by considering a hyperelastic circular solid cylinder or tube that is rotating about its axis of symmetry with angular velocity ω. If the resultant axial force F is fixed, it is shown that the bifurcation condition for a soli...
