Dynamic Modeling of Soft Robotic Dielectric Elastomer Actuator
… energy into mechanical deformation by means of electrostatic attraction forces from coated electrodes. Furthermore, stacking multiple single DEAs can escalate the total mechanical displacement performed by the actuator, such is the case of multilayer DEAs. The presented research proposes a model …

Development of Devices Based on Electrically Actuated Soft Elastomers
… a voltage is applied between the electrodes, an electrostatic pressure deforms the elastomer triggering the motion of the actuator. In this the- sis, this principle is exploited for the development of three different actuators: an electroactive compression bandage, a hydrostatically coupled …
