Effects of Thinner Compliant Electrodes on Self-Clearability of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators
A metalized plastic capacitor stands a higher chance to clear faults when embodied with thinner electrodes. However, it is not clear whether the same thickness effect applies to carbon-based compliant electrodes in clearing the defects in dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA). This experimental study...
