elastic elongation
21Dielectric elastomers — (DEs) are smart material systems which produce large strains (up to 300%[citation needed]) and belong to the group of electroactive polymers (EAP). Based on their simple working principle dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA) transform electric… …
22stress — n 1 Stress, strain, pressure, tension are comparable terms when they apply to the action or effect of force exerted within or upon a thing. Stress and strain are the comprehensive terms of this group and are sometimes used interchangeably {put… …
23Viscosity — For other uses, see Viscosity (disambiguation). Viscosity The substance above has lower viscosity than the substance below SI symbol: μ, η SI unit: Pa·s  …
24Stress–strain curve — During testing of a material sample, the stress–strain curve is a graphical representation of the relationship between stress, derived from measuring the load applied on the sample, and strain, derived from measuring the deformation of the sample …
25Dynamic modulus — is the ratio of stress to strain under vibratory conditions (calculated from data obtained from either free or forced vibration tests, in shear, compression, or elongation). It is a property of viscoelastic materials. Contents 1 Viscoelastic… …
