Nonlinear dynamics of a conical dielectric elastomer oscillator with switchable mono to bi-stability

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are an emerging type of soft actuator that show many advantages including large actuation strains, high energy density and high theoretical efficiency. Due to the inherent elasticity, such actuators can also be used as soft oscillators and, when at resonance, th...
