Abstract
A theoretical formulation for the bifurcation of pressurized and axially stretched thinwalled cylinders obeying compressible hyperelastic material law is derived. Analytical solutions are provided for three bifurcation conditions, namely prismatic, symmetric, and composite. Validation of the formulation in the incompressible limit is performed by limiting the bulk modulus towards incompressibility and comparing it against bifurcation analysis for incompressible materials analyzed in previous studies. Analytical solutions are obtained for two strain energy functions. Finite element simulations are performed for validating numerically the analytical results for compressible behavior. A stabilizing effect in the critical values of deformation is observed with an increase in the compressibility of the material.
