Stability of pear-shaped configurations bifurcated from a pressurized spherical balloon (2014)
Journal Article
Fu, Y., & Xie, Y. (2014). Stability of pear-shaped configurations bifurcated from a pressurized spherical balloon. Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 33 - 44. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmps.2014.03.007

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...

Stability of an inflated hyperelastic membrane tube with localized wall thinning (2014)
Journal Article
Il'ichev, A., & Fu, Y. (2014). Stability of an inflated hyperelastic membrane tube with localized wall thinning. International Journal of Engineering Science, 53 - 61. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijengsci.2014.02.031

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.
