Improved Materials for Dielectric Elastomer Actuators

Volume 1: Advanced Energy Systems; Advanced and Digital Manufacturing; Advanced Materials; Aerospace, 2008
Dielectric elastomers are an emerging class of electroactive polymers for electromechanical transduction. A broad application of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA) is limited by the high voltage necessary to drive such devices. The development of novel elastomers offering better intrinsic electromechanical properties is one way to solve the problem ...

Electroelasticity of dielectric elastomers

Abstract Elastomeric dielectric materials with ground-state shear moduli in the kilopascal range can undergo over 100% deformation under large applied voltages. These soft electroactive materials are the focus of this chapter, which formulates a coupled nonlinear electro-elasticity theory.

Granularly Coupled Dielectric Elastomer Actuators

IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, 2011
Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) have been demonstrated to represent today a high-performance technology for electroactive polymer mechatronics. As a means to improve versatility and safety of DEAs, so-called “hydrostatically coupled” DEAs (HC-DEAs) have recently been shown to offer new opportunities.

Balloon actuators based on the dielectric elastomer

2017 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology (ICIT), 2017
In this paper, we present a theoretical and experimental study about the carrying capacity of flight dielectric elastomer (DE) balloon in electromechanical performance. This paper deals with some structures which are consist of helium balloons or air balloons based on theoretical analysis.
