Electromechanical response of ionic polymer-metal composites
An ionic polymer-metal composite ~IPMC! consisting of a thin Nafion sheet, platinum plated on both faces, undergoes large bending motion when an electric field is applied across its thickness. Conversely, a voltage is produced across its faces when it is suddenly bent. A micromechanical model is developed which accounts for the coupled ion transport, electric field, and elastic deformation to p...
متن کاملModeling Ionic Polymer-Metal Composites with Space-Time Adaptive Multimesh hp-FEM
We are concerned with a model of ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) materials that consists of a coupled system of the Poisson and Nernst-Planck equations, discretized by means of the finite element method (FEM). We show that due to the transient character of the problem it is efficient to use adaptive algorithms that are capable of changing the mesh dynamically in time. We also show that due...
متن کاملMorphological and Electromechanical Characterization of Ionic Liquid / Nafion Polymer Composites
Ionic liquids have shown promise as replacements for water in ionic polymer transducers. Ionic liquids are non-volatile and have a larger electrochemical stability window than water. Therefore, transducers employing ionic liquids can be operated for long periods of time in air and can be actuated with higher voltages. Furthermore, transducers based on ionic liquids do not exhibit the characteri...
متن کاملA 3d Electromechanical Fem-based Model for Cardiac Tissue
The CellDrum provides an experimental setup to investigate the electromechanics of a cardiac tissue construct and particularly the effect of drugs. Experimental data were used to develop a respective computational electromechanical model. Until now, the experiments have been performed with a thin tissue construct. Mechanically, it was modeled as a materially and geometrically nonlinear shell. F...
متن کاملFEM Implementation of the Coupled Elastoplastic/Damage Model: Failure Prediction of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) Composites
The coupled damage/plasticity model for meso-level which is ply-level in case of Uni-Directional (UD) Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) is implemented. The mathematical formulations, particularly the plasticity part, are discussed in a comprehensive manner. The plastic potential is defined in effective stress space and the damage evolution is based on the theory of irreversible thermodynamics. T...
