Giant voltage-induced deformation in dielectric elastomers near the verge of snap-through instability (2013, methodology): “The snap-through expansion of balloons is a subject of many previous studies (e.g., Rivlin and Saunders, 1951; Alexander, 1971; Needleman, 1977; Bogen and McMahon, 1979; Muller and Struchtrup, 2002).”
The static actuation of dielectric elastomer actuators: how does pre-stretch improve actuation? (2008, background): “The effects of pre-stretch on the actuation properties of dielectric elastomer actuators have been investigated [4–8, 10, 12–14, 16–22]; however, a detailed analysis of the impact of pre-stretch on electromechanical coupling in a cuboid dielectric elastomer actuator has not been presented.”
