Abstract
Novel insights into the electromechanical failure of dielectric elastomers are presented. Measurements are conducted by coupling a high-speed camera to electrical breakdown strength equipment. It is shown that the breakdown behavior is far from simple since the thin elastomer film undergoes complex dimensional changes before the breakdown. Multiple geometries of the electrodes were investigated and different behaviors were observed. The breakdown patterns were categorized and the underlying theory behind this complex process will be presented.
