We focus on the mechanical strength of piezomagnetic beam-like nanosize sensors during
post-buckling. An effective flexomagnetic property is also taken into account. The modelled …

Recently developed hard-magnetic soft (HMS) materials/structures are very attractive for
applications in the fields of soft robots, biomedical devices and stretchable electronics, etc …

Recently, hard-magnetic microparticles were embedded into soft matrix to manufacture a
new type of magnetoactive soft materials, ie hard-magnetic soft (HMS) materials. Due to the …

Abstract Electro-magneto-active (EMA) polymers-based smart actuators suffer from electro-
magneto-mechanical instability (EMMI) phenomena arising due to the positive feedback …

Thin dielectric elastomers with compliant electrodes can experience two types of instability:
wrinkling, which occurs to relax in-plane compressive stresses through out-of-plane …

A consistent variational theory of the higher–order nonlocal gradient elasticity is conceived
to appropriately introduce the nonlocality to the higher-order strain gradient theory. The …

Dielectric elastomers have attracted considerable attention both from academia and industry
alike over the last two decades due to their superior mechanical properties. In parallel …

We investigate the stability of a circular electrodes-coated dielectric membrane under the
combined action of an electric field and all-round in-plane tension. It is known that such a …

In this paper, we investigate the stability of microstructured dielectric elastomer (DE) plates
under electro-mechanical finite deformations. We examine the influence of the DE …

Pull-in (or electro-mechanical) instability occurs when a drastic decrease in the thickness of
a dielectric elastomer results in electrical breakdown, which limits the applications of …
