Dielectric elastomers are soft active materials capable of large deformations when activated by a high voltage. They consist of a thin elastomer membrane (generally made of silicone or acrylic), sandwiched between compliant electrodes. The thickness of the assembly is about 100 microns. When a high voltage is applied between the electrodes, the membrane is squeezed between the electrodes, and increases in area by up to 100%.This electromechanical conversion principle can be used to build loudspeakers. Prototypes have been developed and tested by several research groups, and models have been proposed to estimate their performance.An intrinsic characteristic of dielectric elastomer loudspeakers is their multi-physic nature. Indeed, the actua...
