摘要: 介电弹性体是电场型电活性聚合物的一种,在直流电场作用下,有良好的电致应变特性,去掉外加电场,可迅速恢复到原始尺寸,通过控制电压的大小,可以精确控制变形。本文基于NeoHookean应变能模型,采用ABAQUS有限元软件,开展了材质为丙烯酸聚合物管状介电弹性体驱动器在机电载荷作用下的力学性能有限元模拟,另外,考虑机械预拉伸的影响,开展了管状介电弹性体驱动器机电耦合特性的有限元仿真分析,为管状介电弹性体驱动器的力电特性、变形失效、稳定性的进一步研究提供了一定的理论依据。Abstract: Dielectric Elastomer (DE) is a type of electric field Electro-active polymer. Subject to an electric voltage,it emerges good electrostrictive strain behavior. it also can quickly restore to its original size after removing the electric voltage. People can precisely controlled its deformation by controlling the size of the voltage. Based on Neo-Hookean strain energy model,the electromechanical behaviours of acrylic polymer actuators with shapes of tubular are simulated by ABAQUS. Futhermore,for the tubular dielectric elastomer actuators,the influence of the mechanical pre-stretch is considered,the electromechanical coupling characteristics of them are simulated and analyzed. The conclusion can provide a theoretical basis for further research on electrostrictive strain behavior,deformation failure and stability of the tubular DE actuators.
