abstract = "Mechanical energy and electrical energy can be converted to each other by using a dielectric elastomer transducer. Large voltage-induced deformation has been a major challenge in the practical applications. The voltage-induced deformation of dielectric elastomer is restricted by electromechanical instability (EMI) and electric breakdown. We study the loading path effect of dielectric elastomer and introduce various methods to achieve giant deformation in dielectric elastomer and demonstrate the principles of operation in experiments. We use a computational model to analyze the operation of DE generators and actuators to guide the experiment. In actuator mode, we get three designing parameters to vary the actuation response of the device, and realize giant deformation with appropriate parameter group. In the generator mode, energy flows in a device with inhomogeneous deformation is demonstrated..",
