Electrostatically tunable axisymmetric vibrations of soft electro-active tubes
Zhu, Fangzhou; Wu, Bin; Destrade, Michel; Chen, Weiqiu (Elsevier, 2020-05-28)Due to their unique electromechanical coupling properties, soft electro-active (SEA) resonators are actively tunable, extremely suitable, and practically important for designing the next-generation acoustic and vibration ... -
Finite bending and pattern evolution of the associated instability for a dielectric elastomer slab
Su, Yipin; Wu, Bin; Chen, Weiqiu; Destrade, Michel (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 ... -
Nonlinear response and axisymmetric wave propagation in functionally graded soft electro-active tubes
Wu, Bin; Destrade, Michel; Chen, Weiqiu (Elsevier, 2020-10-02)Soft electro-active (SEA) materials can be designed and manufactured with gradients in their material properties, to modify and potentially improve their mechanical response in service. Here, we investigate the nonlinear ... -
Pattern evolution in bending dielectric-elastomeric bilayers
Su, Yipin; Wu, Bin; Chen, Weiqiu; Destrade, Michel (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 ... -
Wrinkling of soft magneto-active plates
Wu, Bin; Destrade, Michel (Elsevier, 2020-11-03)Coupled magneto-mechanical wrinkling has appeared in many scenarios of engineering and biology. Hence, soft magneto-active (SMA) plates buckle when subject to critical uniform magnetic field normal to their wide surface. ...
