J. Cheng et al., Effective electroelastic properties of polycrystalline ferroelectric ceramics predicted by a statistical model, ACT MECHAN, 138(3-4), 1999, pp. 163-175
The effective electroelastic properties and moduli of ferroelectric ceramic
s are calculated. Based on a statistical model, the effects of the shape of
individual domain and crystallographic domain switching under an external
field are firstly taken into consideration to predict the effective electro
elastic constants. The model's prediction of the effective electroelastic p
roperties and moduli of a BaTiO3 ceramic was found to be in agreement with
the experimental results.
