A transversely isotropic visco-hyperelastic constitutive model is provided for soft tissues,which accounts for large deformations,high strain rates,and shor
Dielectric elastomer,an active soft material,has been recently widely explored to make diverse devices,ranging from soft robotics to biomimetic systems.
In a recent series of papers [2-4] the classical problem of localizing bulging in a pressurized membrane tube [1,5,6] has been re-examined using bifurcation
