Electrostatic model of dielectric elastomer generator based on finite element
Scientific Reports, 2021 When dielectric elastomer materials are used for power generation, bias voltage is applied at both ends of dielectric elastomer film, and there are equal amounts of heterogeneous charges on both sides of the film, so Maxwell electrostatic force is always
