## Abstract Subject to a voltage, a dielectric elastomer (DE) deforms. Voltageβinduced strains of above 100% have been observed when DEs are prestretched, and for DEs of certain network structures. Understanding mechanisms of large actuation strains is an active area of research. We propose that th
One of the great advantages of dielectric elastomers (DE) is their scalability. This study investigates the influence of size on their performance and the applicability of theory and established models on large-scale actuators. The testing is based on an active hinge configuration made with planar d
