Finite bending and pattern evolution of the associated instability for a dielectric elastomer slab
(Elsevier, 2018-09-21)
We investigate the finite bending and the associated bending instability of an incompressible dielectric slab subject to a combination of applied voltage and axial compression, using nonlinear electro-elasticity theory and ...
The effect of an exterior electric field on the instability of dielectric plates
(The Royal Society, 2020-07-29)
We investigate the theoretical nonlinear response, Hessian stability, and possible wrinkling behaviour of a voltage-activated dielectric plate immersed in a tank filled with silicone oil. Fixed rigid electrodes are placed ...
Pattern evolution in bending dielectric-elastomeric bilayers
(Elsevier, 2019-07-24)
We propose theoretical and numerical analyses of smart bending deformation of a dielectric-elastic bilayer in response to a voltage, based on the nonlinear theory of electro-elasticity and the associated linearized incremental ...
