• Standards for dielectric elastomer transducers (2015, methodology): “The latter strain (which is also the highest achievable strain, in absolute terms) is obtained with a pre-strain (usually higher than in the previous case) that suppresses electromechanical instability (Suo 2010, Koh et al. 2011), allowing the elastomer to be driven at higher fields.”
• Soft robots based on dielectric elastomer actuators: a review (2019, background): “By prestretching, the electromechanical instability is suppressed and higher actuation voltages can be applied to the actuator until electrical breakdown occurs [76, 77].”
