RATE DEPENDENT STRESS-STRETCH RELATION OF DIELECTRIC ELASTOMERS SUBJECTED TO PURE SHEAR LIKE LOADING AND ELECTRIC FIELD

The performance of dielectric elastomer(DE) transducers is significantly affected by viscoelastic relaxation-induced electromechanical dissipations.This paper presents an experimental study to obtain the rate dependent stress-stretch relation of DE membranes(VHB TM 9473) subjected to pure shear like loading and electric loading simultaneously.Stretching rate dependent behavior is observed.The results also show that the tensile force decreases as the voltage increases.The observations are compared with predictions by a viscoelastic model of DE.This experiment may be used for further studies of dynamic electromechanical coupling properties of DEs.     

温度对介电弹性体材料力电耦合变形的影响

介电弹性体(Dielectric Elastomer,简称DE)材料是一类在电场激励下可以产生大幅度尺寸或形状变化的新型柔性功能材料.DE材料具有非常宽的温度应用范围,这种宽的温度工作范围和快速大变形性能为各种柔性致动器结构提供了良好的基础,但作为一种粘弹性高分子材料,温度对其性能的影响也是非常明显的.然而到目前为止,所有关于DE材料驱动性能的研究仅局限于室温条件下,温度变化对DE材料力电耦合稳定性的影响几乎没有相关报道.基于此,通过实验研究了温度对最常用的DE材料(VHB 4910,3M)力电耦合变形的影响,结果表明:升高温度可以提高DE材料的力电耦合变形;温度越高,DE材料越容易发生力电耦合失稳.然后,从热力学和粘弹性力学出发,建立了考虑温度影响后的DE材料的粘弹性力电耦合模型,数值模拟理论结果和实验结果定性地吻合.

BIAXIAL LOADING OF NEO-CLASSICAL LIQUID CRYSTAL ELASTOMERS:CONSTITUTIVE RELATIONS AND SOFT BEHAVIOR

The thermo-order-mechanical behaviors of liquid crystal elastomers(LCEs) under biaxial loading are studied in this paper.Inverse method for nonlinear elastic problems is utilized by imposing biaxial stretching to thin rectangular samples.Neo-classical elastic energy is used together with the Landau-de Gennes nematic free energy.Under plane stress assumptions,the constitutive equations are derived.Due to the possible reorientations of the liquid crystal molecules induced by the imposed biaxial loading,the in-plane nonlinear stress-strain relations can have different expressions depending on which loading axis will have the largest effective principal strain.And the free energy is a multi-well non-convex potential function.As shown by some typical loading paths,the LCE samples will exhibit an anisotropic nonlinear elastic behavior,as long as the loading has not induced a reorientation of the liquid crystal molecules.When this did occur,jumps of stresses could take place for dead loadings due to the losing of stability.

Electro-viscoelastic behaviors of circular dielectric elastomer membrane actuator containing concentric rigid inclusion

The time-dependent electro-viscoelastic performance of a circular dielectric elastomer (DE) membrane actuator containing an inclusion is investigated in the context of the nonlinear theory for viscoelastic dielectrics. The membrane, a key part of the actuator, is centrally attached to a rigid inclusion of the radius a, and then connected to a fixed rigid ring of the radius b. When subject to a pressure and a voltage, the membrane inflates into an out-of-plane shape and undergoes an inhomogeneous large deformation. The governing equations for the large deformation are derived by means of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and viscoelasticity of the membrane is characterized by a rheological spring-dashpot model. In the simulation, effects of the pressure, the voltage, and design parameters on the electromechanical viscoelastic behaviors of the membrane are investigated. Evolutions of the considered variables and profiles of the deformed membrane are obtained numerically and illustrated graphically. The results show that electromechanical loadings and design parameters significantly influence the electro-viscoelastic behaviors of the membrane. The design parameters can be tailored to improve the performance of the membrane. The approach may provide guidelines in designing and optimizing such DE devices.

LARGE DEFLECTION THEORY OF NANOBEAMS

One-dimensional nanostructured materials are often used as beams in many applications such as ultrahigh-frequency resonators and ultrasensitive sensors. Compared with usual macroscopic beams, nanobeams have much higher surface/volume ratios so that their surface energies may play a significant role. Besides, they often bear large deflections due to their typically large slenderness ratios and larger elastic ranges. There is, however, lack of a theory that takes into account of both the above two features owned by nanobeams. In this paper, we present such a theory and give applied examples to show that surface energy and large deflection may individually or jointly have notable effects.
