Abstract
In this contribution, a multiphase model will be presented in order
to simulate ionic electroactive polymers (EAPs). The considered material
model is developed within the framework of the Theory of Porous Media
(TPM) which consists a thermo-electro-mechanical coupling. For the
description of the model, a thermodynamically consistent formulation
in consideration of the electrostatic forces and the fluid pressure
will be derived. The presented model includes a charged polymer (solid)
saturated by an electrolyte solvent (fluid). A boundary value problem
(plate with a hole) is given. (© 2015 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH \& Co.
