Abstract

In this paper, the influence of a radial electric field generated by compliant electrodes on the curved surfaces of a tube of dielectric electroelastic material subject to radially symmetric finite deformations is analyzed within the framework of the general theory of nonlinear electroelasticity. The analysis is illustrated for two constitutive equations based on the neo-Hookean and Gent elasticity models supplemented by an electrostatic energy term with a deformation dependent permittivity.
