Computational Modeling and Measurement of Electro - osmosis

Overview Membranes in the outer hair cell lateral wall form a naturally occurring nanostructure which acts as a microelectromechanical (MEM) system. Computational and optical techniques are being developed to predict, verify and refine the description of nanoscale behavior in the outer hair cell (OHC) lateral wall. The biological, engineering and physics expertise of an interdisciplinary three-...

Computational modeling of electro-elasto-capillary phenomena in dielectric elastomers

We present a new finite deformation, dynamic finite element model that incorporates surface tension to capture elastocapillary effects on the electromechanical deformation of dielectric elastomers. We demonstrate the significant effect that surface tension can have on the deformation of dielectric elastomers through three numerical examples: (1) surface tension effects on the deformation of sin...
