Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are soft capacitors that undergo large shape changes when electrically activated. In its most basic planar form, the DEA expands in area as it decreases in thickness. When a planar DEA is rolled up, deformations are limited to just the axial direction; the linea...
