RISDesign of a Dielectric Elastomer Cylindrical Actuator With Quasi Constant Available Thrust: Modeling Procedure and Experimental Validation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel design for a dielectric elastomer (DE) actuator is presented. The actuator is obtained by coupling a cylindrical DE film with a series of slender beams axially loaded beyond their buckling limit. Similar to previous ...
