Abstract:Dielectric Elastomer Minimum Energy Structures (DEMES) have the ability of actively adjusting their shape to accommodate complex scenarios, which has rendered them a focus of research in the field of soft robotics. Understanding the actuation mechanism of DEMES is essential for their effective design and control. In this paper, a systematic and comprehensive modelling framework with integrated consideration of environmental factors, pre-stretch and viscoelasticity is established. The dynamic governing equation… Show more
