Nonlinear Dynamics of a Resonant-Impact Dielectric Elastomer Actuator
Applied System Innovation, 2022 In recent years, with the rapid development of soft robots, dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) as a novel type of soft actuators have been widely studied. However, DEAs often suffer from low instantaneous output force/power, especially in high payload

Dielectric Elastomer Actuators with Carbon Nanotube Electrodes Painted with a Soft Brush
Actuators, 2018 We propose a simple methodology to paint carbon nanotube (CNT) powder with a soft brush onto an elastomer. A large deformation of dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) occurs according to the small constraint of the electrodes. Uniform painting with a soft

Effects of Thinner Compliant Electrodes on Self-Clearability of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators
Actuators, 2020 A metalized plastic capacitor stands a higher chance to clear faults when embodied with thinner electrodes. However, it is not clear whether the same thickness effect applies to carbon-based compliant electrodes in clearing the defects in dielectric ...
