Suitability of Different Analytical Derivations of Electrically Induced Stress States in Planar and Cylindrical Dielectric Elastomer Actuators
Dielectric elastomers (DE) belong to a very performant and efficient class of functional materials for actuators, while being compliant, low-weight and silent, they offer high energy efficiencies and large deformations under an applied electric field. In this work, a comparison of different approach...
