Application of viscoelasticity to nonlinear analyses of circular and spherical dielectric elastomers

Time-dependent dissipative behaviors of circular and spherical dielectric elastomer (DE) membranes were investigated, and viscoelastic models based on nonlinear theory were developed. Using these formulas, one can easily understand the electromechanical performance of DEs. By combining the Maxwell s...
