Electromechanical performance of a viscoelastic dielectric elastomer balloon
In this paper, we present a theoretical study about the effect of viscoelasticity on the electromechanical performance of a dielectric elastomer (DE) balloon. The thermodynamic dissipative model is given and the equation of motion is deduced by a free-energy method. It is found that when the balloon...
