Self-sensing dielectric elastomer actuators in closed-loop operation

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset

Because of their large output strain, dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) have been proposed for tunable optics applications such as tunable gratings. However, the inherent viscoelastic drift of these actuators is an important drawback and closed-loop op ...
