NONEQUILIBRIUM THERMODYNAMICS OF DIELECTRIC ELASTOMERS (2011, background): “Experimental observations [Seki and Sato, 1995; Kestelman et al., 2000; Wissler and Mazza, 2007; Johansson and Robertson, 2007; Brosseau et al., 2008; Reffaee et al., 2009] have shown that the dielectric relaxation-time for a dielectric elastomer is less than 0.1 ms, the viscoelastic-relaxation…”
Modeling of dielectric elastomers: Design of actuators and energy harvesting devices (2013, methodology): “First, simplified finite-element computational procedures have been proposed that make geometrical assumptions, reducing the electrical problem to one dimension (Wissler and Mazza, 2005, 2007; Zhao and Suo, 2008b; Zhou et al., 2008).”
