Abstract: Giant deformation of dielectric elastomers (DEs) via electromechanical instability (or the “snap-through” phenomenon) is a promising mechanism for large-volume fluid pumping. Snap-through of a DE membrane coupled with compressible air has been previously investigated. However,… read more here.
