Shape bifurcation of a pressurized ellipsoidal balloon

Abstract: It is well-known that for most spherical and cylindrical rubber balloons the pressure versus volume curve associated with uniform inflation both has an N-shape, but their shape bifurcation has different characters: whereas a spherical balloon tends to bifurcate into a pear shape through localized thinning near one of the poles, a cylindrical balloon would always bulge out locally in a symmetric manner. To understand the connection between these two different bifurcation behaviors, we study in this paper the sh… Show more

“…where and̃are material constants. In this paper, we take the following material parameters from [32], which are widely used for the analyses of inflation of hyperelastic balloons [16,22,27,39]: 1 = 1.3, 2 = 5.0, 3 = −2.0,̃1 = 1.4919,̃2 = 0.003 and̃3 = −0.024, in which̃are dimensionless, scaled by the ground state shear modulus . Practically, these values of the parameters refer to a vulcanized natural rubber which has highly reversible hyperelastic behavior but low crystallization upon extreme stretching [40].…”

“…A rugby-shaped balloon refers to non-equal axes with ∕ < 1. In [22], the governing equation (6) is decomposed into three first-order ODEs that can be solved by numerical shooting method. Their results show that the bifurcation interval shortens with the decrease of ∕ , and then disappears at ∕ = 0.626.…”
