Abstract: We analyze small amplitude shear waves (SWs) propagating in dielectric elastomer (DE) laminates subjected to finite deformations and electrostatic excitations. First, we derive long wave estimates for phase and group ...

Abstract: In this paper, we review constitutive models for soft materials. We specifically focus on physically based models accounting for hyperelasticity, visco-hyperelasticity, and damage phenomena. For completeness, we include ...
