Analytical, numerical and experimental predictions of the effective electromechanical properties of macro-fiber composite (MFC)

•An analytical model based on equivalent layered approach is proposed to predict the effective properties of macro-fiber composites (MFC).•The complex electrode pattern of MFC is modeled using a finite element (FE) based unit-cell approach.•Experiments are carried out under actuation mode to evaluat...
