Circumferential buckling instability of a growing cylindrical tube
A cylindrical elastic tube under uniform radial pressure will buckle circumferentially to a non-circular cross section at a critical pressure. The buckling represents an instability of the inner or outer edge of the tube. This is a common phenomenon in biological tissues, where it is referred to as...
