The inflation and bifurcation of spherical membranes is considered. The membrane material is assumed to be isotropic and hyperelastic but may be arbitrarily compressible. Qualitatively the behaviour of compressible membranes is shown to be the same as that of incompressible membranes but specific fo

β¦ Synopsis
A study is made of the qualitative features of the inflation of a shell of the so-called material of type II. This material has a strain energy function which is linear in i t , i 3 and arbitrary in i2, where i~, i2 and i 3 are the three principal invariants of the stretch tensors. For a specific form of the arbitrary function, a closed-form solution to the equations of equilibrium describing spherical eversion can also be found. By using this solution, a comparison can be made between the qualitative features of the regular and everted shells under internal pressure. It is found that the stress distribution in both cases is different and that a larger pressure can be sustained by the everted shell. However eversion has no effect on the other features studied.

The stability of homogeneous, isotropic, compressible, hyperelastic, thick spherical shells subjected to external dead-load traction are investigated within the context of the "nite elasticity theory. The stability of the "nitely deformed state and small, free, radial vibrations about this state are
