Harnessing snap-through instability in soft dielectrics to achieve giant voltage-triggered deformation

Submitted by Christoph Keplinger on

For a dielectric elastomer membrane we show giant voltage-triggered expansion of area by 1692%, far beyond the largest values reported in the literature.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

SHPB Data Reduction Software

Hello,

I am
developing the first Split-Hopkinson Pressure bar device for my university and I
was wondering if anyone had some data reduction software/codes that they would
be willing to share.  I have heard that
others have developed such codes that take the input signals and perform the
proper analyses to produce the stress strain curves.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,
