Ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) is a type of electroactive polymer (EAP). In this paper, based on Nemat-Nasser model, an improved model is developed to explain the initial nonlinear response of electric actuation on the fixed end deformation. Three IPMC strip samples with different surface resistance are chosen for analysis. Further, from simulation and experiment results, it is found that the root deformation made the tip movement of the IPMC strip with little surface resistance, but this effect was less and less when the surface resistance reduced. The calculation results of this model for the fixed end show a more accurate simulation for the actual deformation of IPMC strips.
