Bulging initiation and propagation in fiber-reinforced swellable Mooney–Rivlin membranes

Abstract This article considers a thin-walled hollow cylinder, which is composed of fibrous and swellable hyperelastic material. The fibers are arranged in two families they taken to be parallel within each fiber family. also assumed mechanically equivalent symmetrically disposed the ground substance At instant homogeneous swelling, material incompressible. studies interplay orientation, mechanical properties constituents on initiation as well axial propagation bulging.
