Abstract

This paper analyses the viscoelastic up-scaling effects in electro-active polymers endowed with amicro-structure architecture in the form of a rank-one laminate. The principles of rank-n homogeneisation and thermodynamical consistency are combined in the context of extremely deformable dielectric el...
