Abstract: Hydraulically amplified dielectric elastomer actuators (HADEAs) comprise a hyper-elastic inflatable membrane filled with an incompressible dielectric fluid and partially covered with a pair of electrodes. Applying voltage ...

Abstract: Methods to determine the pressure field of vortical flow from threedimensional (3D) volumetric velocity measurements (e.g., from a TSI V3VTM system) are discussed. The boundary pressure was determined where necessary using ...

Abstract: A proposed benefit to additive manufacturing (AM) silicone components is the ability to selectively add fillers such as agents to make drug delivery devices. Laser curing silicones have benefits such as selective or graded ...

Abstract: Hydraulically amplified dielectric elastomer actuators (HADEAs) are soft actuators comprising a pair of elastic electrodes connected to an inflatable membrane where the membrane and space between the electrodes are filled ...

Abstract: In this paper, we established an analytical model that avoids extensive numerical computation for the analysis of a hydraulically amplified dielectric elastomer actuator. This actuator comprises a thin elastomer shell ...
