Abstract :
Dielectric elastomer (DE) is a type of electroactive polymer with large strain, fast response and high efficiency, and is thought to be a promising actuation and sensing material for new device and structure. Three strain energy forms are studied for DE actuation modeling. Also, uniaxial extension experiment and plane circular actuator actuation experiment were performed based on polyacrylate dielectric elastomer HN1110. Material parameter calculation and modeling evaluation are presented according to experiment result.
