چکیده
Dielectric Elastomer Actuators In article number 2213589, Kilwon Cho and co-workers report a flexible skin-mountable vibrotactile-stimulator based on thin lateral dielectric elastomer actuators. The actuator shows significant actuation at low operating voltage because of laterally aligned multilayer structure with short distance soft elastomer/ionic liquid composite. covers broad perception frequency/amplitude range human skin.

On designing dielectric elastomer actuators
Subject to a voltage, a dielectric elastomer can deform substantially, making it a desirable material for actuators. Designing such an actuator, however, has been challenging due to nonlinear equations of state, as well as multiple modes of failure, parameters of design, and measures of performance. This paper explores these issues, using a spring-roll actuator as an example. We formulate the e...
متن کاملHelical dielectric elastomer actuators
This paper presents a new type of contractile polymer-based electromechanical linear actuator. The device belongs to the class of dielectric elastomer actuators, which are typically capable of undergoing large deformations induced by an applied electric field. It is based on a novel helical configuration, suitable for the generation of electrically driven axial contractions and radial expansion...
متن کاملFluid electrodes for submersible robotics based on dielectric elastomer actuators
Recently, dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) have gathered interest for soft robotics due to their low cost, light weight, large strain, low power consumption, and high energy density. However, developing reliable, compliant electrodes for DEAs remains an ongoing challenge due to issues with fabrication, uniformity of the conductive layer, and mechanical stiffening of the actuators caused by...
متن کاملFabrication Process of Silicone-based Dielectric Elastomer Actuators
This contribution demonstrates the fabrication process of dielectric elastomer transducers (DETs). DETs are stretchable capacitors consisting of an elastomeric dielectric membrane sandwiched between two compliant electrodes. The large actuation strains of these transducers when used as actuators (over 300% area strain) and their soft and compliant nature has been exploited for a wide range of a...
متن کاملMaximizing strain in miniaturized dielectric elastomer actuators
We present a theoretical model to optimise the unidirectional motion of a rigid object bonded to a miniaturized dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA), a configuration found for example in AMI’s haptic feedback devices, or in our tuneable RF phase shifter. Recent work has shown that unidirectional motion is maximized when the membrane is both anistropically prestretched and subjected to a dead loa...
