Nonlinear Oscillations of Particle-Reinforced Electro-Magneto-Viscoelastomer Actuators

This work presents the dynamic modeling and analysis of a particle-reinforced and pre-stressed electro-magneto-viscoelastic plate actuator. The actuator belongs to a smart actuator category and is made of an electro-magneto-active polymer filled with a particular volume fraction of suitable fillers. An energy-based electro-magneto-viscoelastic model is developed to predict the actuator response and interrogate the impact of particle...
