The Temperature Effect on the Characteristics of the Dielectric Elastomer Actuator

In this paper, the material constant of the dielectric elastomer (DE) has been observed under three parameters; the electrical frequency, the prestretch ratio, and the environmental temperature. While the dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) can be used under different environmental conditions, the temperature factor is considered in this paper at the prestretch condition and various frequencies. Which shows a significant effect on the constant of the DEA.
