Abstract
The primary objectives of modeling IPMCs are to facilitate researchers with IPMC fabrication and performance prediction, to better understand the underlying principles of IPMC actuation and sensing, and to develop functional real-time control systems for IPMC devices. This chapter provides an overview of IPMC modeling with specific emphasis on physics-based models and control models. The underlying governing equations are presented and methods of solving are discussed.
