Magneto-active polymers are polymer-based composites consisting of magnetizable micro-
particles embedded in an elastomeric matrix material. The presence of magnetic particles …

In the present work we derive an analytical expression for the pressure–deflection curve of
circular membranes subjected to inflation. This problem has been studied mostly from a …

The inflation of hyperelastic thin shells is a highly nonlinear problem that arises in multiple
important engineering applications. It is characterised by severe kinematic and constitutive …

Guided by experiments contrasting electrically accelerated recovery with natural healing,
this study formulates a model to investigate the importance of electroactive differential …

The inflation of circular membranes is a benchmark problem in finite elasticity. Due to its
mathematical complexity, so far most efforts have been focused on numerical solutions …

Generally, a serious practical limitation of dielectric elastomer (DE)-based capacitors is the
need for high voltage supply (in the order of 1 kV) to activate them. High voltages require a …

There are many materials that the linear elasticity theory cannot predict their mechanical
behavior against applied loads. This research proposes a comprehensive theoretical …

The dynamics of electromagnetoactive polymer (EMAP) membranes have attracted much
attention recently because of their wide range of modern robotic applications. Such …

This letter deals with the control-oriented modeling of a multilayered dielectric elastomer
actuator based tube. The actuator is clamped at both sides and performs a radial …

This study focuses on creating novel magnetoactive polymers (MAP) by incorporating
fabricated magnetic particles into elastomers, a unique approach to MAP preparation. We …
