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

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 …

High-speed on/off valve (HSV) has been widely concerned in the field of hydraulic
engineering, mainly focusing on improving its dynamic characteristic. However, relatively …

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are known to be lightweight, energy efficient, and
scalable in performance. Two well-studied DEA concepts are represented by stacked and …

Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs) enable the realization of energy-efficient and compact
actuator systems. DEAs operate at the kilovolt range with typically microampere-level …

Dielectric elastomer (DE) transducers are polymer‐based devices consisting of an insulating
elastomeric membrane with compliant electrodes on both sides, forming a flexible capacitor …

Dielectric elastomer minimum energy structures (DEMES) have attracted significant attention
in the recent past because of their ability to switch between multiple equilibrium states. The …

There are two major categories of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs), which differ from
the way in which the actuation is exploited: stack DEAs, using the thickness compression …

Dynamic performance is an important index of high-speed on/off valve in the digital
hydraulic field. Optimizing the control algorithm is an effective method to improve the …

Pilot two-stage proportional valves are widely used in high-power hydraulic systems. For the
purpose of improving the dynamic performance, reliability, and digitization of the traditional …
