In this study, we intend to introduce a nonlinear dynamic theory for analyzing dynamic behavior of plate-like polypyrrolebased trilayer actuators for the first time. Within the displacement field of a first-order shear deformation plate theory...

The effect of clamping pressure on the actuation performance of ionic polymer–metal composite (IPMC) actuators is newly investigated by carefully considering changes of mechanical stiffness and electrical resistance due to the interfacial contacts...
