Fracture Dielectric Elastomers

Description

This dataset contains the experimental raw data from the mechanical and electro-mechanical testing of soft dielectric elastomers: unfilled PDMS and BaTiO3-filled PDMS. The data have not been filtered.  Every specimen is tested under tensile loading until full rupture. All specimens had a thickness of 3mm. The initial length between grips was set to 40mm.  The files are named according to:- the type of sample (Unfilled_PDMS/BaTiO3_Filled),- the width of the sample (w30mm/w50mm),- the length of the pre-cut (c0mm/c3mm/c5mm/c6mm/c9mm/c10mm/c12mm/c15mm/c20mm/c25mm),- the voltage applied in the thickness direction during tensile deformation (0kV/4kV/8kV),- and the number of the experiment up to the total number of repetitions under the same test conditions (R1/R2/R3 for filled samples and R1/R2 for unfilled samples).
