On the near-critical behavior of cavitation in elastic plane membranes (2017)
Journal Article
Fu, Y., Geng, Y., & Cai, Z. (2017). On the near-critical behavior of cavitation in elastic plane membranes. International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics, 47-52. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijnonlinmec.2017.04.012

Material cavitation under tensile loading is often studied by assuming the pre-existence of a small void. In this case the void would initially grow but without significant change in its size, and cavitation is said to take place if this slow growth...

Effect of double-fibre reinforcement on localized bulging of an inflated cylindrical tube of arbitrary thickness (2017)
Journal Article
Fu, Y., & Wang, J. (2017). Effect of double-fibre reinforcement on localized bulging of an inflated cylindrical tube of arbitrary thickness. Journal of Engineering Mathematics, 21-30. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10665-017-9899-5

We consider localized bulging of an inflated cylindrical hyperelastic tube of arbitrary thickness that is helically reinforced by two families of fibres. It is shown that localized bulging may become impossible, irrespective of the end conditions, wh...

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)

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

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

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...

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...

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...

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...
