Abstract

The series of papers published by Gil and Ortigosa (Gil and Ortigosa, 2016; Ortigosa and Gil, 2016, 0000) introduced a new convex multi-variable variational and computational framework for the numerical simulation of Electro Active Polymers (EAPs) in scenarios characterised by extreme deformations a...
