Parallelogram-shaped dielectric elastomer generators: Analytical model and experimental validation

Dielectric elastomers are smart materials that can be used to conceive solid-state electromechanical transducers such as actuators, sensors, and generators. Dielectric elastomer generators, in particular, are very promising for energy harvesting applications because they potentially feature large en...
