Dielectric elastomer actuator biased by magnetorheological elastomer with permanent magnet
Smart Materials and Structures, 2023 Abstract Dielectric elastomer actuators have become one of the most important smart material transducers in recent times. One of the crucial aspects in this field is the application of bias to find the best operating conditions. The basic task is to find the proper bias configuration to obtain a wide range of displacements in the ...

International Journal of Engineering and Advanced Technology, 2021 This paper appraisals state-of-the-art dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) and their forthcoming standpoints as soft actuators which have freshly been considered as a crucial power generation module for soft robots. DEs behave as yielding capacitors, expanding in area and attenuation in thickness when a voltage is applied.
