متن کاملPropagation of instability in dielectric elastomers
When an electric voltage is applied across the thickness of a thin layer of an dielectric elastomer, the layer reduces its thickness and expands its area. This electrically induced deformation can be rapid and large, and is potentially useful as soft actuators in diverse technologies. Recent experimental and theoretical studies have shown that, when the voltage exceeds some critical value, the ...
متن کاملElectromechanical hysteresis and coexistent states in dielectric elastomers
When a voltage is applied to a layer of a dielectric elastomer, the layer reduces in thickness and expands in area. A recent experiment has shown that the homogeneous deformation of the layer can be unstable, giving way to an inhomogeneous deformation, such that regions of two kinds coexist in the layer, one being flat and the other wrinkled. To analyze this instability, we construct for a clas...
متن کاملViscoelastic effects on electromechanical instabilities in dielectric elastomers
We present a computational study of the effects of viscoelasticity on the electromechanical behavior of dielectric elastomers. A dynamic, finite deformation finite element formulation for dielectric elastomers is developed that incorporates the effects of viscoelasticity using the nonlinear viscoelasticity theory previously proposed by Reese and Govindjee. The finite element model features a th...
متن کاملElectromechanical instability on dielectric polymer surface: Modeling and experiment
We present a dynamic finite element formulation for dielectric elastomers that significantly alleviates the problem of volumetric locking that occurs due to the incompressible nature of the elastomers. We accomplish this by modifying the Q1P0 formulation of Simo et al. [1], and adapting it to the electromechanical coupling that occurs in dielectric elastomers. We demonstrate that volumetr ic lo...
