We studied a typical failure model of a Mooney-Rivlin-type silicone energy harvester, illustrated the allowable area under equal-biaxial and unequal-biaxial conditions, calculated the energy generated in one cycle of an energy harvester, designed a new harvester, and conducted its primary tests. When the ratio between principal planar stretches p = 1 (lambda(2) = p lambda(1)) and the material constant ratio k = 0.1 (C-2 = kC(1)), the energy density generated by the harvester is 6.81 J/g. We think that these results can be used to facilitate the design and manufacture of dielectric elastomer energy harvesters.
