We investigate localised bulging or necking in an incompressible, hyperelastic cylindrical tube under axial stretching and surface tension. Three cases are considered in which the tube is subjected to different constraints. In case 1 the inner and ou...

Due to surface tension, a beading instability takes place in a long enough fluid column that results in the breakup of the column and the formation of smaller packets with the same overall volume but a smaller surface area. Similarly, a soft elastic... Read More about Necking, Beading, and Bulging in Soft Elastic Cylinders.
