Abstract: Dielectric elastomer (DE) possesses attributes such as large deformation and fast response. As a typical DE actuating structure, the multilayered DE bending actuator (MDEBA) is lightweight and can actuate in relatively low ...

Abstract: Scar structures of natural animals can reinforce the wounds both mechanically and biologically to maintain the functions of the injured muscle and skin. Inspired by the scar structure, we present a dielectric elastomer ...
