Abstract: The constitutive model for glassy polymers proposed by Arruda and Boyce (BPA model) is reviewed and compared to experimental data for longterm loading. The BPA model has previously been shown to capture monotonic loading ...

Abstract: Electroactive polymers (EAPs) deform when subject to an electric field, which is generated by two or more electrodes. To ensure proper function of the EAP, these electrodes are connected to a source and they are therefore ...
