Journal ArticleDOI
Electromechanical coupling in dielectric elastomer actuators
TL;DR: In this paper, a new physical interpretation of the electrostatic forces acting on the dielectric elastomer film is proposed, with contributions from in-plane and out-of-plane stresses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical behavior of an acrylic elastomer used in dielectric elastomer actuators
TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element analysis of dielectric elastomer actuators is proposed for the evaluation of the experimental observations from circular actuators, which are used for actuator design and optimization purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling and simulation of dielectric elastomer actuators
Michael Wissler,Edoardo Mazza +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a constitutive model for the acrylic elastomer VHB 4910 is presented for finite element modeling and simulation of dielectric elastomers of general shape and set-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling of a pre-strained circular actuator made of dielectric elastomers
Michael Wissler,Edoardo Mazza +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a pre-strained circular actuator made of a dielectric elastomer is investigated: constitutive models based on uniaxial data are verified by comparing calculation results with experimental observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison between silicone and acrylic elastomers as dielectric materials in electroactive polymer actuators
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison between Dow Corning silicone and 3M acrylic elastomers was made based on a set of six electromechanical tests for actuator applications, and the silicone elastomer showed a fast EMECanical response (3 s) with good reproducibility and the dissipated work is negligible and not frequency dependent.
