Electromechanical phase transition of a dielectric elastomer tube under internal pressure of constant mass

The electromechanical phase transition for a dielectric elastomer (DE) tube has been demonstrated in recent experiments, where it is found that the unbulged phase gradually changed into bulged phase. Previous theoretical works only studied the transition process under pressure control condition, whi...
