The present study analyzes the bending of a simple electro-elastic cylindrical shell by the compound matrix method. The cross-section of the circular cylindrical shell is a non-circular curved shape, with ππ 1 a function of π΄π΄ π΅π΅ οΏ½ and the mode number, where π΄π΄ and π΅π΅ are the pre-deformation inner and outer radii of the cylindrical shell, and ππ 1 is the ratio of the deformed inner radius to π΄π΄ . In the first step, a numerical model of the problem is developed to obtain specific differential equations. The modeling yields a system of two Ordinary Differential Equations with three boundary conditions of the same type. Next, it is shown that the dependence of ππ 1 to π΄π΄ π΅π΅ οΏ½ has a boundary layer structure. Simple numerical observations were made for bifurcation conditions. The analysis is, in fact, based on the variations of the inner and outer radii π΄π΄ and π΅π΅ , assuming ππ = ππ 1 π΄π΄ and ππ = ππ 2 π΅π΅, and based on the bifurcation of ππ 1 and ππ 2 ratios with respect to radius. For this purpose, the compound matrix method is used to show the validity of the arguments.
