Abstract: In this paper, we investigated the temperaturedependent viscoelastic behavior of dielectric elastomers (DEs) and the effects of viscoelasticity on the electroactuation behavior. We performed dynamic thermomechanical analysis ...

Abstract: We utilize a nonlinear, dynamic finite element model coupled with a finite deformation viscoelastic constitutive law to study the inhomogeneous deformation and instabilities resulting from the application of a constant ...
