Biomimetic Dielectric Elastomer Actuators

The First IEEE/RAS-EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics, 2006. BioRob 2006., 2006
Polymer actuators offer attractive properties as biomimetic devices capable of mimicking functional characteristics of biological muscles and structures. This paper presents the ongoing research activities and the latest results achieved in our lab in the development of soft actuators made of a particular class of electroactive polymers, consisting of ...

Dynamic response of dielectric elastomers

International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics, 2004
Dielectric elastomers have received a great deal of attention recently for effectively transforming electrical energy to mechanical work. Their large strains and conformability make them enticing materials for many new types of actuators. Unfortunately, their non-linear material behavior and large deformations make actual devices difficult to model ...
