DC dynamic pull-in instability of a dielectric elastomer balloon: an energy-based approach
TL;DR: The results indicate that the dynamic pull-in instability gets triggered at electric fields that are lower than those corresponding to the static instability, which can find potential use in the design and development of the balloon actuators subjected to transient loading.
Journal ArticleDOI
A numerical framework for modeling anisotropic dielectric elastomers
Atul Kumar Sharma,M. M. Joglekar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element based numerical framework for simulating the electromechanical behavior of nonlinear anisotropic dielectric elastomer actuators at finite strains is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of viscoelasticity on the nonlinear dynamic behavior of dielectric elastomer minimum energy structures
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical model was developed to analyse the viscoelastic effect of DE membrane on the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the DEMES. And the developed dynamic model predicts the initial shape, DC and AC response, periodicity of the DEES for different values of viscosity parameter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gradient-based topology optimization of soft dielectrics as tunable phononic crystals
TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ a finite element formulation of the governing equations and use the properties of each element as the design variables, and employ gradient-based optimization, namely the Method of Moving Asymptotes.
Journal ArticleDOI
