Wrinkles in the opening angle method
(Elsevier, 2017-06-10)
We investigate the stability of the deformation modeled by the opening angle method, often used to give a measure of residual stresses in arteries and other biological soft tubular structures. Specifically, we study the ...
Bending instabilities of soft biological tissues
(Elsevier, 2009-12-15)
Rubber components and soft biological tissues are often subjected to large bending deformations while 'in service'. The circumferential line elements on the inner face of a bent block can contract up to a certain critical ...
