Dynamic Electromechanical Response of a Viscoelastic Dielectric Elastomer under Cycle Electric Loads

Figure 3

A membrane is subject to the applied cyclic nominal electric field. (a), (d), (g), and (j) are the calculated time-dependent total stretch and inelastic stretch. (b), (e), (h), and (k) are the stretch-electric field response. (c), (f), (i), and (l) are the dimensionless nominal electric displacement-nominal electric field curves. Four different dimensionless frequencies are used in the calculation with for (a), (b), and (c), for (d), (e), and (f), for (g), (h), and (i), for (j), (k), and (l).
