On the failure modes and maximum stretch of circular dielectric elastomer actuators
Dielectric elastomer actuators have been widely studied theoretically and experimentally thanks to its superior attributes such as large deformation. The actuator failure has long been an issue placing barriers to large deformation in practical applications. In this paper, we investigate the various...
