Key Points

Inflation significantly affects the mechanical properties of hyperelastic, transversely isotropic spherical shells, leading to observed instability.
Key evidence indicates that varying constitutive models impact the stability threshold during inflation, revealing critical differences in behavior.
This analysis utilizes theoretical models to explore how material properties align with simulated inflation scenarios in spherical shells.
Understanding these relationships may enable more accurate predictions of mechanical behavior in various engineering applications.
