Method to analyze electromechanical stability of dielectric elastomers
Open accessAbstract
Subject to an electric voltage, a layer of a dielectric elastomer reduces its thickness, so that the voltage induces a high electric field. The positive feedback may cause the elastomer to thin down drastically, resulting in an electrical breakdown. The authors show that the electromechanical instability occurs when the Hessian of the free-energy function ceases to be positive definite. Their calculation shows that the stability of the actuator is markedly enhanced by prestresses, agreeing with existing experimental observations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
