Dielectric elastomer transducers configurations

In some cases, the configurations for dielectric elastomer transducers are similar to those used for piezoelectric (or other field effects) ceramics and polymers. In other cases, owing to the large strain capabilities of elastomers, the configurations are more novel. 

The following sections give examples of dielectric elastomer generators in several categories of energy source, size, transducer configuration, coupling type, and purpose.
