Edge wrinkling in elastically supported pre-stressed incompressible isotropic plates (2016)
Journal Article
Destrade, M., Fu, Y., & Nobili, A. (2016). Edge wrinkling in elastically supported pre-stressed incompressible isotropic plates. Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 20160410 -?. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2016.0410

The equations governing the appearance of flexural static perturbations at the edge of a semi-infinite thin elastic isotropic plate, subjected to a state of homogeneous bi-axial pre-stress, are derived and solved. The plate is incompressible and supp... Read More about Edge wrinkling in elastically supported pre-stressed incompressible isotropic plates.

Localized bulging in an inflated cylindrical tube of arbitrary thickness - the effect of bending stiffness (2016)
Journal Article
Francisco, G., Liu, J., & Fu, Y. (2016). Localized bulging in an inflated cylindrical tube of arbitrary thickness - the effect of bending stiffness. Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 45-60. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmps.2016.02.027

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 internal pressure P and resultant axial force F viewed as fun...

Shape bifurcation of a pressurized ellipsoidal balloon (2016)
Journal Article
Geng, Y., Huang, J., & Fu, Y. (2016). Shape bifurcation of a pressurized ellipsoidal balloon. International Journal of Engineering Science, 115-125. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijengsci.2016.01.003

It is well-known that for most spherical and cylindrical rubber balloons the pressure versus volume curve associated with uniform inflation both has an N-shape, but their shape bifurcation has different characters: whereas a spherical balloon tends t...

An asymptotic analysis of the period-doubling secondary bifurcation in a film/substrate bilayer (2015)
Journal Article
Fu, Y., & Cai, Z. (2015). An asymptotic analysis of the period-doubling secondary bifurcation in a film/substrate bilayer. SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 2381-2395. https://doi.org/10.1137/15M1027103

It has previously been observed experimentally and simulated numerically that when a thin film bonded to a much softer substrate is subjected to a uni-axial compression parallel to the interface, the initial buckled pattern will suffer a secondary bi...

Localized standing waves in a hyperelastic membrane tube and their stabilization by a mean flow (2015)
Journal Article
Fu, Y. B., & Il'ichev, A. T. (2015). Localized standing waves in a hyperelastic membrane tube and their stabilization by a mean flow. Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids, 20(10), 1198-1214. https://doi.org/10.1177/1081286513517129

We first give a complete analysis of the dispersion relation for travelling waves propagating in a pre-stressed hyperelastic membrane tube containing a uniform flow. We present an exact formula for the so-called pulse wave velocity, and demonstrate t...

Bifurcation of a dielectric elastomer balloon under pressurized inflation and electricactuation (2015)
Journal Article
Fu, Y., Xie, Y., & Liu, J. (2015). Bifurcation of a dielectric elastomer balloon under pressurized inflation and electricactuation. International Journal of Solids and Structures, 182-188. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijsolstr.2015.08.027

It is previously known that under inflation alone a spherical rubber membrane balloon may bifurcate into a pear shape when the tension in the membrane reaches a maximum, but the existence of such a maximum depends on the material model used: the maxi...

Buckling of a coated elastic half-space when the coating and substrate have similar material properties (2015)
Journal Article
Fu, Y., & Ciarletta, P. (2015). Buckling of a coated elastic half-space when the coating and substrate have similar material properties. Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2014.0979

This study investigates the buckling of a uni-axially compressed neo-Hookean thin film bonded to a neo-Hookean substrate. Previous studies have shown that the elastic bifurcation is supercritical if r=µf/µs>1.74 and subcritical if r<1.74, where µf an...

A semi-analytical approach to Biot instability in a growing layer: Strain gradient correction, weakly non-linear analysis and imperfection sensitivity (2015)
Journal Article

Many experimental works have recently investigated the dynamics of crease formation during the swelling of long soft slabs attached to a rigid substrate. Mechanically, the spatially constrained growth provokes a residual strain distribution inside th...

Stability of pear-shaped configurations bifurcated from a pressurized spherical balloon (2014)
Journal Article

It is well-known that for most spherical rubber balloons the pressure versus volume curve associated with uniform inflation is N-shaped (the pressure increases rapidly to a maximum, falls to a minimum, and subsequently increases monotonically), and t...

It is now well-known that when an infinitely long hyperelastic membrane tube free from any imperfections is inflated, a transcritical-type bifurcation may take place that corresponds to the sudden formation of a localized bulge. When the membrane tub... Read More about Stability of an inflated hyperelastic membrane tube with localized wall thinning.
