Evaluation of the deformation shape of a balloon-type dielectric elastomer actuator prestretched with water pressure

Abstract In this study, we evaluated the deformation shape of a balloon-type dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) that has been prestretched with water pressure. We fabricated the DEA with poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) as the elastomeric material and carbon grease as the electrode. We derived analyti...
