Variable Stiffness Systems

Variable Stiffness Systems is a mechanical system within the field of dielectric elastomer actuation that enables on-demand modulation of structural rigidity through controlled electromechanical coupling, distinguishing it from fixed-stiffness actuators by its ability to dynamically alter compliance in response to operational demands.
