Abstract
One of the ways of improving the characteristics of technological and analytical equipment is an application of “smart” materials, among which dielectric elastomers are promising due to their low elastic modulus and its high effect of internal vibration protection. The article focuses on a theoretical analysis of the studied materials and identifies the key parameters that influence the dielectric elastomer actuator’s deformation, including the manufacturing technology, geometric parameters and composition of dielectric elastomers. A manufacturing technology of dielectric elastomer actuators was developed successfully. Samples with different thicknesses of the dielectric layer were made by the research group. The results of the research suggest dependence of deformation on the effective layer thickness.
