Electroactive polymer-based devices for e-textiles in biomedicine (2005, background): “So far, many configurations for dielectric elastomer actuators have been proposed and demonstrated, including planar, tube, roll, extender, diaphragm, and benders [56], [57], [100], [102]–[107].”
Snap-through actuation of thick-wall electroactive balloons (2012, background): “Various EAP based actuators have been considered in the past [1–7].”
Design of metal interconnects for stretchable electronic circuits (2008, methodology): “Different configurations were simulated and compared among them and based on these results, a horseshoe like shape was suggested.”
Modeling of dielectric elastomers: Design of actuators and energy harvesting devices (2013, background): “These materials were first reported by Pelrine and coworkers (Pelrine et al., 1998, 2000a,b; Kornbluh et al., 2000) and have since then garnered interest as electromechanical transducers for a wide variety of applications (Carpi et al., 2008), such as robotics, biomedical engineering and energy…”
