Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are capacitors that is capable of producing actuation force when electrically activated. The dielectric elastomer membrane is compressed by Maxwell stress to produce an area expansion. This motion is then utilised for actuation purpose. The amount of strain and...
