T1 Loss of ellipticity in the combined helical, axial and radial elastic deformations of a fibre-reinforced circular cylindrical tube JF International Journal of Solids and Structures YR 2015 FD 2015-06-15 VO 63 SP 99 OP 108 AB In this paper we consider theoretically the finite deformation of a circular cylindrical tube of a transversely isotropic elastic material, specifically the combined axial stretch, inflation and helical shear deformation, with particular reference to the failure of ellipticity. For a simple form of strain-energy function specific examples involving axial and radial directions of transverse isotropy are then considered, leading to different predictions of the onset of ellipticity failure.
