An asymptotic analysis of the period-doubling secondary bifurcation in a film/substrate bilayer (2015)
Journal Article

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

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

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

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 r1.74. In this pape...

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...
