Large-scale dielectric elastomer generators dielectric elastomer generators (DEGs) such as
those employed in wave energy converter projects require a significant volume of electrically …

Existing studies on electro-active polymers (EAP) have largely ignored the unequal-biaxial
deformation instability, focusing instead on the equi-biaxial deformation instability of such a …

Dielectric elastomers are a compelling class of electro-active materials that show great
promise for large-deformation actuation, sensing, and energy generation applications. In …

Dielectric elastomer generators convert mechanical work into electrical energy. Previous
tests on membrane inflation elastomer generators, however, indicated rather low efficiency …

Dielectric generators require an external circuit with a high bias voltage source to polarize
them. To drastically reduce this circuit and to avoid external polarization, we propose here …
