Large deformation electrohydrodynamics of a Skalak elastic capsule in AC electric field

Studies in electrohydrodynamics I. The circulation produced in a drop by an electric field

The elongation of a drop of one dielectric fluid in another owing to the imposition of an electric field has previously been studied assuming that the interface is uncharged and the fluids at rest. For a steady field this is unrealistic, because however small the conductivity of either fluid the charge associated with steady currents must accumulate at the interface till the steady state is est...

Electrostriction in elastic dielectrics undergoing large deformation

We develop a thermodynamic model of electrostriction for elastic dielectrics capable of large deformation. The model reproduces the classical equations of state for dielectrics at small deformation, but shows that some electrostrictive effects negligible at small deformation may become pronounced at large deformation. The model is then specialized to account for recent experiments with an elast...

A Corotational Elastic Constitiutive Model and its Application to the Analysis of a Large Deformation Closed Cycle

In this paper, an elastic constitutive model based on the Eulerian corotational rate of the logarithmic strain tensor is proposed. Using this model, the large deformation of a closed cycle containing tension, shear, compression and inverse shear is analyzed. Since the deformation path includes a closed cycle and the material is considered as an isotropic elastic material, the normal and shear c...
