Modeling of butterfly-shaped hysteresis in dielectric elastomer actuators

Dielectric elastomer actuators exhibit butterfly-shaped hysteresis effects under unbiased periodic input signals. In comparison with single hysteresis effects, butterfly-shaped hysteresis effects are more complicated, which include two single hysteresis loops, and the directions of both loops are di...
