In the past decade, the development of theory has deeply revealed the electromechanical
coupling deformation mechanism of dielectric elastomer (DE). Many theoretical predictions …

Electroadhesion (EA) is an electrically controllable adhesion mechanism that has been
studied and used in fields including active adhesion and attachment, robotic gripping …

Multilayer dielectric elastomer actuators have a wide range of potential applications, but
their development and commercial implementation have been hindered by existing …

Soft actuation materials often only perform an actuation function, and do not achieve the
function of self‐sensing. In this work, the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) gels are prepared with a …

This paper presents on electromechanical characterization of thin film nickel-based wrinkled
electrodes for dielectric elastomer (DE) applications. The investigation of a sandwich …

In this article, we present a sensorless stiffness control (SC) architecture for a soft dielectric
elastomer (DE) membrane actuator. The method relies on a self-sensing algorithm that …

This paper presents an overview of cooperative actuator and sensor systems based on
dielectric elastomer (DE) transducers. A DE consists of a flexible capacitor made of a thin …

Dielectric elastomer sensors (DESs) have been known as highly stretchable strain sensors
for about two decades. They are composite films consisting of alternating dielectric and …

When dielectric-elastomer (DE) resonators are operated under large alternating voltage
excitations, strong geometric and material nonlinearities can significantly affect the dynamic …

Dielectric elastomer actuators, owing to their fully electrical control and silent operation, are
becoming increasingly popular for the development of terrestrial and underwater mobile …
