    • Bending control and stability of functionally graded dielectric elastomers 

      Su, Yipin; Ogden, Ray W.; Destrade, Michel (Elsevier, 2021-01-18)
      A rectangular plate of dielectric elastomer exhibiting gradients of material properties through its thickness will deform inhomogeneously when a potential difference is applied to compliant electrodes on its major surfaces, ...

    • On anisotropic elasticity and questions concerning its Finite Element implementation 

      Vergori, Luigi; Destrade, Michel; McGarry, Patrick; Ogden, Ray W. (Springer, 2013-05-21)
      We give conditions on the strain-energy function of nonlinear anisotropic hyperelastic materials that ensure compatibility with the classical linear theories of anisotropic elasticity. We uncover the limitations associated ...

    • Stability analysis of charge-controlled soft dielectric plates 

      Conroy Broderick, Hannah; Righi, Michele; Destrade, Michel; Ogden, Ray W. (Elsevier, 2020-04-06)
      We examine the stability of a soft dielectric plate deformed by the coupled effects of a mechanical pre-stress applied on its lateral faces and an electric field applied through its thickness under charge control. The ...
