Abstract

Electro-sensitive (ES) elastomers or electro-rheological (ER) elastomers deform under the application of an electric field and their mechanical properties can be changed rapidly under the influence of electric field. The present paper deals with inhomogeneous deformations in ES elastomers. We have solved two problems namely inhomogeneous shearing deformation of a slab and inhomogeneous radial expansion and longitudinal shearing of an isotropic incompressible elastic circular cylindrical shell in the presence of electric field.
