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 ...

Dielectric elastomer memory

SPIE Proceedings, 2011
ABSTRACT Life shows us that the distri bution of intellig ence throughout flexible muscular ne tworks is a highly successful solution to a wide range of challenges, for example: human hearts, octopi, or even starfish. Recreating this success in engineered systems requires soft actuator technologies with embedded sensing and intelligence.

ENHANCING THE DIELECTRIC PERMITTIVITY OF ELASTOMERS

2008
The electromechanical transduction properties of any dielectric elastomer are intrinsically regulated by the dielectric permittivity of the material. This parameter proportionally controls both the achievable active stresses and strains. Accordingly, a suitable increase of the material permittivity may provide a valuable means to improve the ...

Active Elastomer Components Based on Dielectric Elastomers

International Polymer Science and Technology, 2015
A new design concept developed at the Fraunhofer LBF allows dielectric elastomers to be integrated efficiently as load-bearing components, serving as both actuator and sensor at the same time. Since the concept is based on perforated metal electrodes with high electrical conductivities, it can also be used for highly dynamic and acoustic applications ...
