Electromechanical Modeling of Softening Behavior for Dielectric Elastomers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dielectric elastomer (DE) is a promising electroactive polymer. As DE material, rubbers are often filled with functional particles to improve their electromechanical performance. However, the filled particles also bring ...
A Method to Determine the Constitutive Parameters of Hyperelastic Films Based on Spherical Indentation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An indentation method to determine the properties of hyperelastic thin films is proposed, which is to use a spherical indenter to indent on the film with a small circular hole in the center. During this progress, there ...
Thermomechanical Constitutive Models of Shape Memory Polymers and Their Composites
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Shape memory polymers (SMPs) and SMP composites (SMPCs) have been widely employed in several fields and exhibit excellent selfactuation, deformation, and selfadaption. Establishing reasonable constitutive models is vital ...
Computational Model and Design of the Soft Tunable Lens Actuated by Dielectric Elastomer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Inspired by the accommodation mechanism of the human eye, several soft tunable lenses have been fabricated and demonstrated the capability of controllable focus tuning. This paper presents a computational model of a ...
Thermomechanical Constitutive Models of Shape Memory Polymers and Their Composites
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Shape memory polymers (SMPs) and SMP composites (SMPCs) have been widely employed in several fields and exhibit excellent self-actuation, deformation, and self-adaption. Establishing reasonable constitutive models is vital ...
