Summary

The traction problem for a transversely isotropic incompressible elastic material is considered, and it is shown that when only pure homogeneous deformations are considered, the problem can be formulated as a two-dimensional ℤ2-equivariant bifurcation problem in which the bifurcation parameter is the dead-load. Using imperfect bifurcation theory, conditions for bifurcation phenomena are given and, considering a general non-linear form for the stored energy function, the recognition problem is solved in the simplest cases. The last section treats transversely isotropic non-linear perturbations for a Mooney–Rivlin material and a neo-Hookean material and the corresponding bifurcations.
