Subject to voltage, dielectric elastomers deform and stiffen. We show that harmonic excitations at certain frequencies cannot propagate in incompressible dielectric elastomer, fiber composite films. Importantly, we demonstrate that these band gaps are tunable by the voltage. To show this, we formulate the equations governing small-amplitude waves in a deformed film, taking into consideration its surfaces. We develop a scheme to numerically solve the resultant equations, based on the supercell plane wave expansion method. To arrive at the findings above, we apply our scheme to a composite with circular fibers, and parametrically study the propagation dependency on the phase properties, film thickness, and voltage. Our results are another step towards the use of soft dielectric films as active wave manipulators. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
