Conducting polymers (CP) are promising electro-active polymers and have been increasingly used in actuator applications. This paper is intended to characterize the electromechanical correlation between the current input and curvature output of polypyrrole trilayer actuators. A mathematical model was developed using the multilayer bending theory and an analogy between thermal expansion and ion insertion...
In this letter, an extended accurate sub-entire domain basis function method is proposed, in which the number of unknowns is further reduced than the original one. The solution time is shorter because the number of unknowns is reduced. Several examples are given, which show that numerical results given by the proposed method are in good agreement with those given by the method of moments and by the...
