Abstract: Two types of tubular dielectric elastomers (DE) torsional actuators are studied in this work, which are, respectively, reinforced by a family and two families of helical inextensible fibers. When subject to a radial electric ...

Abstract: Metastructures can be designed to exhibit extraordinary properties and thus are widely applicable in various fields, such as vibration suppression, wave control, and energy harvesting. In the present work, a dynamic ...
