Title
-
On Creep Failure of Balloons
-
Description
-
Assuming that the balloon material responds like a Maxwell model, it is demonstrated that there exists a critical time at which the balloon will rupture. The characteristic features of this phenomenon are demonstrated on a spherical balloon which is subjected to a constant internal pressure, with no restrictions imposed upon the magnitude of the balloon displacements. Planned investigations to correlate these phenomena of creep failure with recent balloon failures are outlined.
