Extract

The existence of non-homogeneous modes of deformation in an equibiaxially stretched elastic half-space is investigated. The surface of the half-space is assumed to be traction-free.

It is shown that three different eigenmodal deformations are possible, according as the cube of the critical stretch is greater than, less than, or equal to ¾.

For the class of strain-energy functions due to Ogden (9), necessary conditions for bifurcation are deduced-for equibiaxial tension. Results are given and discussed for single-term, as well as two- and three-term Ogden strain-energy functions, for equibiaxial tension and compression.
