Application of Lambert W-function for solving time-delayed response of smart material actuator under alternating electric potential

Abstract: An active actuator of electro-active polymer (EAP), i.e. ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC), is subjected to alternating electric potential to investigate and study the time-delayed vibration characteristics. A generalized mathematical model of the actuator is obtained assuming multi-mode excitation and applying the Hamilton’s principle. Lambert W-function is then applied and a closed form solution of the transcendental characteristic equation of delay differential equation (DDE) is obtained. Delay different… Show more
