- Resonant behavior of a membrane of a dielectric elastomer (2010, methodology): “For the ideal dielectric elastomer, following Zhao et al. (2007), we assume that the Helmholtz free energy takes the form W k1; k2; eD ¼ l2 k21 þ k22 þ k 21 k 22 3 þ eD22e k 21 k 22 : ð14Þ The first term is the elastic energy, where l is the small strain shear modulus.”
- Modeling Viscoelastic Dielectrics (2011, background): “With the more recent development of fully coupled nonlinear field theories (Dorfmann and Ogden, 2005; McMeeking and Landis, 2005; Suo et al., 2008), the mechanism of phenomena such as the pull-in instability are rigorously modeled and predicted (Zhao et al, 2007a; Zhao and Suo, 2007b).”
- Instabilities in multilayered soft dielectrics (2011, background): “(47) Notice that condition (46) is often met in soft dielectric devices where the material can deform and expand under the action of attractive forces between electrodes.”
- Effect of mechanical pre-stretch on the stabilization of dielectric elastomer actuation (2011, background): “Other dielectric elastomers may survive after the pull-in instability, and exhibit a coexistence of two states at a constant voltage: thick and thinner, which is interpreted as snapthrough instability upon stiffening of soft matter at large strains [9].”
- NONEQUILIBRIUM THERMODYNAMICS OF DIELECTRIC ELASTOMERS (2011, methodology): “For an elastic dielectric elastomer, electromechanical instability occurs wheñ E = 0.69 µ/ε, where µ is the shear modulus of the elastomer [Zhao and Suo, 2007].”
- Dielectric Elastomer Generators: How Much Energy Can Be Converted? (2011, background): “polymer at large deformation, EMI can be eliminated when P is sufficiently large [32].”
