Micro Abstract:
In this contribution, we develop a physically-based constitutive model capturing electroelasticity in electrostrictive elastomers based on an extension of the analytical network-averaging concept. The proposed model includes a few physically motivated material constants and demonstrates good agreement with experimental data of dielectric elastomers.
