A theoretical study of the hyperelasticity of electro‐gels

The continuum theory of electro-elasticity is used in order to describe the large deformations observed in gels endowed with electric properties when they are placed in electric fields. The analytical solution of the properly constructed boundary-value problem agrees quantitatively with available ex...

Zusammenfassung:The continuum theory of electro-elasticity is used in order to describe the large deformations observed in gels endowed with electric properties when they are placed in electric fields. The analytical solution of the properly constructed boundary-value problem agrees quantitatively with available experimental data.
