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.

Weakly nonlinear analysis of localized bulging of an inflated hyperelastic tube of arbitrary wall thickness (2020)

A weakly nonlinear analysis is conducted for localized bulging of an inflated hyperelastic cylindrical tube of arbitrary wall thickness. Analytical expressions are obtained for the coefficients in the amplitude equation despite the fact that the prim...
