DC dynamic pull-in instability of a dielectric elastomer balloon: an energy-based approach

TL;DR: The results indicate that the dynamic pull-in instability gets triggered at electric fields that are lower than those corresponding to the static instability, which can find potential use in the design and development of the balloon actuators subjected to transient loading.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Modulated Voltage Waveform for Enhancing the Travel Range of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators

TL;DR: In this paper, a method to achieve high deformability levels in dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) by applying a modulated voltage waveform is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the Influence of Inhomogeneous Interphase Layers on Instabilities in Hyperelastic Composites

TL;DR: Numerical simulations showed that interlayer inhomogeneity may result in higher stability of composites with respect to classical layup constructions of identical shear stiffness, and it was found that the critical wavelength of the buckling mode can be regulated by the inhomogeneous interphase properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elastic instabilities, microstructure transformations, and pattern formations in soft materials

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the state of the art in elastic instability phenomena in soft materials and discuss the mechanisms leading to the wrinkling and folding, creasing, fringe, and fingering.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tunable permittivity in dielectric elastomer composites under finite strains: periodicity, randomness, and instabilities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the deformation-induced tunability of the effective permittivity in DE composites with periodically and randomly distributed particles embedded in a soft matrix is studied. And the effect of microstructural periodicity and its transition towards random distribution is examined.
