Previous linear bifurcation analyses have evidenced that an axially stretched soft cylindrical tube may develop an infinite-wavelength (localised) instability when one or both of its lateral surfaces are under sufficient surface tension. Phase transition interpretations have also highlighted that the tube admits a final evolved two-phase state. How the localised instability initiates and evolves into the final two-phase state is still a matter of contention, and this is the focus of the current study. Through a weakly non-linear analysis conducted for a general material model, the initial sub-critical bifurcation solution is found to be localised bulging or necking depending on whether the axial stretch is greater or less than a certain threshold value. At this threshold value, an exceptionally super-critical kink-wave solution arises in place of localisation. A thorough interpretation of the anticipated post-bifurcation behaviour based on our theoretical results is also given, and this is supported by Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations.
We provide an extension to previous analysis of the localised beading instability of soft slender tubes under surface tension and axial stretching. The primary questions pondered here are: under what loading conditions, if any, can bifurcation into c
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
A liquid surface touching a solid usually deforms in a near-wall meniscus region. In this work, we replace part of the free surface with a soft polymer and examine the shape of this elasto-capillary meniscus, result of the interplay between elasticit
Flexible rings and rectangle structures floating at the surface of water are prone to deflect under the action of surface pressure induced by the addition of surfactant molecules on the bath. While the frames of rectangles bend inward or outward for
We provide a simple proof of the bifurcation condition for localized bulging in a hyperelastic tube of arbitrary thickness that is subjected to combined axial loading and internal pressure. Using analytic tools, we prove that the bifurcation conditio
