Bifurcation and vibration of a surface-coated elastic block under flexure

The behaviour of a surface-coated rectangular, non-linearly elastic block subject to (plane-strain) flexure is investigated in this thesis. We consider a rectangular block of incompressible, isotropic elastic material coated with a thin elastic film on part of its boundary. Initially, the bulk mater...
