Journal ArticleDOI
Dielectric elastomer actuators under equal-biaxial forces, uniaxial forces, and uniaxial constraint of stiff fibers
Tongqing Lu,Tongqing Lu,Jiangshui Huang,Christa Jordi,Gabor Kovacs,Rui Huang,David R. Clarke,Zhigang Suo +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a voltage-induced deformation of a dielectric elastomer membrane was demonstrated under equal-biaxial and uniaxial forces, as well as on fiber-constrained membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatigue of double-network hydrogels
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the fatigue behavior of the classic PAMPS/PAAM double network hydrogels discovered by Gong and her co-workers, and find a threshold around 400 J/m2 for hydrogel containing PAAM networks of a low density of crosslinkers, and around 200 J/ m2 for PHYGEL with a high density of linkers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large, Uni-directional Actuation in Dielectric Elastomers Achieved By Fiber Stiffening
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that large actuation strains are achievable in the axial direction, with or without pre-straining and mechanical loading, and that the actuation strain is independent of the aspect ratio of the cylinder.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Universal Strategy for Tough Adhesion of Wet Soft Material
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanics of dielectric elastomer structures: A review
Tongqing Lu,Cheng Ma,Tiejun Wang +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the recent advances in the theory of dielectric elastomer and demonstrates some examples of using theory to design DE transducers is presented, from the simplest homogeneous deformation of a flat membrane to the highly complex bifurcations of a tube.
