Finite element modeling of the electromechanical coupling in electroactive polymers

Abstract

Due to the large strain capability, electroactive polymers (EAPs) are promising materials for several engineering applications, for example: they can be used as actuators and sensors in cameras, pumps, valves, etc. Generally speaking, the mode of action in EAPs is based on Coulomb forces generated by electric field that causes the polymer membrane to contract in the thickness direction. In this contribution, a mixed finite element formulation was developed for modeling the electromechanical coupling and for simulation concerning electroactive polymers.
