Electromechanical analysis and simplified modeling of dielectric elastomer multilayer bending actuator

Dielectric elastomers can generate large voltage-induced deformation and have been widely used as soft actuators. Dielectric elastomer multilayer structures function as bending-type actuators, enhancing their stiffness and ability to resist external loads. Modeling a dielectric elastomer multilayer...
