Constitutive formulations for intrinsic anisotropy in soft electroelastic materials
Abstract Inspired by biology and engineered soft active material systems, we propose a new constitutive formulation for a soft material consisting of soft contractile fibers embedded in a soft matrix. The mathematical implementation of the model is based on a multi-field invariant formulation within...
