Inhomogeneous thinning of dielectric membranes under uniaxial tension and electric fields
Xiang Yu, Yibin Fu
Dielectric elastomers exhibit rich electromechanical instabilities arising from the coupling between mechanical deformations and electric fields. A widely used approach for analyzi…

A one-dimensional model for axisymmetric deformations of an inflated hyperelastic tube of finite wall thickness
Xiang Yu, Yibin Fu
We derive a one-dimensional (1d) model for the analysis of bulging or necking in an inflated hyperelastic tube of {\it finite wall thickness} from the three-dimensional finite elas…

Analysis of axisymmetric necking of a circular dielectric membrane based on a one-dimensional model
Xiang Yu, Yibin Fu
To facilitate the understanding of the mechanisms underlying the electric breakdown of dielectric elastomers, we derive a one-dimensional (1d) model for axisymmetric necking in a d…
