Modeling Viscoelastic Dielectrics (2011, methodology): “Later models use a similar approach by employing hyperelastic constitutive laws to a uniformly deformed elastomer and have achieved a better agreement with experiment in some cases (e.g. Pelrine et al., 2000c; Goulbourne et al., 2005; Wissler and Mazza, 2005a).”
Electromechanical coupling in dielectric elastomer actuators (2007, background): “Several researchers [3,5,8,17,18], dopted a deformation independent value of about 4.”
Snap-through actuation of thick-wall electroactive balloons (2012, background): “However, the usage of instability phenomena [9–13] may reduce the intensity of the required electric field.”
Giant voltage-induced deformation in dielectric elastomers near the verge of snap-through instability (2013, methodology): “The model of ideal dielectric elastomer has been used almost exclusively in the literature (e.g., Wissler and Mazza, 2005a; Goulbourne et al., 2005; Plante and Dubowsky, 2006).”
The static actuation of dielectric elastomer actuators: how does pre-stretch improve actuation? (2008, methodology): “The Ogden model has been included in models of dielectric elastomer actuators [8, 12, 17, 19, 24, 25], several of which have been verified experimentally.”
Instabilities in multilayered soft dielectrics (2011, methodology): “Similarly, for a soft dielectric body homogenously deformed applying only deadload tractions/charges to its boundary, introduction of the incremental constitutive equations (17) into the critical bifurcation condition (39) yields C (t)Ḟ · Ḟ+ 2B(t)Ḋ · Ḟ+A(t)Ḋ · Ḋ = 0 (40) for at least a pair (Ḟ, Ḋ) =”
Resonant behavior of a membrane of a dielectric elastomer (2010, methodology): “(18)–(20) in various forms has been used in previous analyses (e.g., Pelrine et al., 2000; Wissler and Mazza, 2005; Goulbourne et al., 2005).”
NONEQUILIBRIUM THERMODYNAMICS OF DIELECTRIC ELASTOMERS (2011, background): “Existing models of dielectric elastomers mostly focus on elastic behavior [Anderson, 1986; Goulbourne et al., 2005; McMeeking and Landis, 2005; Suo et al., 2008; Kofod, 2008], although viscoelastic behavior has also been explored [Christensen, 1980; Drozdov, 1995; Bergström and Boyce, 1998;…”
