Compression-induced failure of electro-active polymeric thin films
Domenico De Tommasi, Giuseppe Puglisi, Giuseppe Zurlo
The insurgence of compression induces wrinkling in actuation devices based on EAPs thin films leading to a sudden decrease of performances up to failure. Based on the classical ten…

Failure mechanisms in thin electroactive polymer actuators
D. De Tommasi, G. Puglisi, G. Saccomandi +1
We propose a model to analyze the insurgence of pull-in and wrinkling failures in electroactive thin films. We take in consideration both cases of voltage and charge control, and s…
