Control-Oriented Modeling and Analysis of Tubular Dielectric Elastomer Actuators Dedicated to Cardiac Assist Devices

This letter deals with the control-oriented modeling of a multilayered dielectric elastomer actuator based tube. The actuator is clamped at both sides and performs a radial displacement. The hyperelastic deformation and the viscoelastic performance, together with the electro-mechanical coupling are
