This paper investigates active vibration control effects of Dielectric Elastomer Actuator (DEA) and magnitude of exciting force generated by multi-layer DEA. DEA attracts attention as a next-generation actuator because of lightness, flexibility and deformability. Frist, the state-space modeling of the system is conducted by system identification approach with the experimental modal analysis for control system design. Second, the vibration controller is designed by solving the H∞ control problem and, finally, the closed-loop performance is evaluated by experiment.
