We derive a one-dimensional (1d) model for the analysis of bulging or necking in an inflated
hyperelastic tube of finite wall thickness from the three-dimensional (3d) finite elasticity …

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 …

We consider the problem of bulging, or necking, of an infinite thin-walled hyperelastic tube
that is inflated by an internal pressure, with the axial stretch at infinity maintained at unity. We …

We consider a cylindrical membrane that consists of an isotropic ground substance and
fibers symmetrically arranged in two helically distributed families which are mechanically …

An experimental study is conducted on localized bulging of inflated latex rubber tubes of a
range of wall thicknesses and tube lengths, guided by newly emerged analytical results. In …

When a rubber tube with free ends is inflated under volume control, the pressure will first
reach a maximum and then decrease monotonically to approach a constant asymptote. The …

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 …

This paper introduces an implementation of the absolute nodal coordinate formulation
(ANCF) that can be used to model fibrous soft tissue in cases of three-dimensional elasticity …

Static and dynamic responses of a circular cylindrical shell made of hyperelastic arterial
material are studied. The material is modeled as a combination of Neo-Hookean and Fung …

We consider localized bulging/necking in an inflated hyperelastic membrane tube with
closed ends. We first show that the initiation pressure for the onset of localized bulging is …
