Bending control and instability of functionally graded dielectric elastomers
Yipin Su, Ray W. Ogden, Michel Destrade
A rectangular plate of dielectric elastomer exhibiting gradients of material properties through its thickness will deform inhomogeneously when a potential difference is applied to…
The effect of an exterior electric field on the instability of dielectric plates
Yipin Su, Weiqiu Chen, Luis Dorfmann +1
We investigate the theoretical nonlinear response, Hessian stability, and possible wrinkling behaviour of a voltage-activated dielectric plate immersed in a tank filled with silico…
Tuning the pull-in instability of soft dielectric elastomers through loading protocols
Yipin Su, Weiqiu Chen, Michel Destrade
Pull-in (or electro-mechanical) instability occurs when a drastic decrease in the thickness of a dielectric elastomer results in electrical breakdown, which limits the applications…
Electro-mechanically guided growth and patterns
Yangkun Du, Yipin Su, Chaofeng Lu +2
Several experiments have demonstrated the existence of an electro-mechanical effect in many biological tissues and hydrogels, and its actual influence on growth, migration, and pat…
