An Analytical Study on the Instability Phenomena During the Phase Transitions in a Thin Strip under Uniaxial Tension
Hui-Hui Dai, Zongxi Cai
In the experiments on stress-induced phase transitions in SMA strips, several interesting instability phenomena have been observed, including a necking-type instability, a shear-ty…
Instabilities Induced by Phase Fronts Coalescence During the Phase Transitions in a Thin Sma Layer: Mechanism and Analytical Descriptions
Hui-Hui Dai, Jiong Wang
Systematic experiments on stress-induced phase transitions in thin SMA structures in literature have revealed two interesting instability phenomena: the coalescence of two martensi…
Asymptotic bifurcation solutions for compressions of a clamped nonlinearly elastic rectangle: transition region and barrelling to a corner-like profile
H. H. Dai, F. F. Wang
Buckling and barrelling instabilities in the uniaxial compressions of an elastic rectangle have been studied by many authors under lubricated end conditions. However, in practice i…
On Constructing the Asymptotic Solutions for Phase Transitions in a Slender Cylinder Composed of a Compressible Hyperelastic Material with Clamped End Conditions
Hui-Hui Dai, Jiong Wang, Zhen Chen
In this paper, we study phase transitions in a slender circular cylinder composed of a compressible hyperelastic material with a non-convex strain energy function. We aim to constr…
On Constructing the Analytical Solutions for Localizations in a Slender Cylinder Composed of an Incompressible Hyperelastic Material
Huihui Dai, Yanhong Hao, Zhen Chen
In this paper, we study the localization phenomena in a slender cylinder composed of an incompressible hyperelastic material subjected to axial tension. We aim to construct the ana…
