Mechanics and Electrodynamics of Magneto- and Electro-elastic Materials

This volume reviews cutting-edge methodologies in the use of electro- and magneto-sensitive elastomers and polymers. It covers the mathematical and computational aspects of modelling these materials as well as how to control their mechanical properties.

This volume presents a state-of-the-art overview of the continuum theory of both electro- and magneto-sensitive elastomers and polymers, which includes mathematical and computational aspects of the modelling of these materials from the point of view of material properties and, in particular, the "smart-material" control of their mechanical properties.
