Micro Abstract:
In this paper, we propose a novel constitutive framework for electro-active polymers (EAPs) that can take into account anisotropy with a chain dispersion.To demonstrate the performance of the proposed electro-mechanically coupled framework, we analytically solve a widely-used non-homogeneous boundary value problem. The results capture various electro-mechanical couplings with the formulation proposed for EAP composites.
