Abstract

Dielectric elastomers show promising performance as actuators for soft robotics. Thus, accurate and efficient numerical algorithms for the simulation of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs) are required for the design and control of the soft robotic system. In this work, the Cosserat [...]

Abstract

A partitioned iterative method based on hierarchical decomposition is proposed for providing numerical modeling and analysis of the piezoelectric energy harvester which is involved in coupled fluid-structure interaction, coupled electro-mechanical, and a controlling electrical [...]
