We investigate the stability of a circular electrodes-coated dielectric membrane under the combined action of an electric field and all-round in-plane tension. It is known that such a membrane is susceptible to the limiting point instability (also kn... Read More about Axisymmetric necking of a circular electrodes-coated dielectric membrane.

We derive a one-dimensional (1d) model for the analysis of bulging or necking in an inflated hy?perelastic tube of finite wall thickness from the three-dimensional (3d) finite elasticity theory by
applying the dimension reduction methodology propose... Read More about A one-dimensional model for axisymmetric deformations of an inflated hyperelastic tube of finite wall thickness.

We first characterize strain solitary waves propagating in a fluid-filled membrane tube when the fluid is stationary prior to wave propagation and the tube is also subjected to a finite stretch. We consider the parameter regime where all traveling wa...

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...

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.
