In this work, we address the modelling of piezo-micromirrors with large opening angles. We
focus on various sources of nonlinearites induced by the interaction with the surrounding …

Three different displacement based finite element formulations over arbitrary polygons are
studied in this paper. The formulations considered are the conventional polygonal finite …

In this study, we present a displacement based polygonal finite element method for
compressible and nearly-incompressible elastic solids undergoing large deformations in two …

Several constitutive models for magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs) have been
proposed in the literature. The implementation of numerical integration schemes, which …

Electromechanically coupled ferroelectric materials exhibit complex nonlinear behaviour
under higher magnitudes of mechanical and electrical loading owing to their microscopic …

A recovery-based error indicator developed to evaluate the quality of polygonal finite
element approximations is presented in this paper. Generalisations of the finite element …

In this paper, we employ the virtual element method for the numerical solution of linear
thermo-elastic problems in two dimensions. The framework is implemented within the …

Ferroelectric materials, such as lead zirconate titanate, lanthanum-doped lead zirconate
titanate, and BaTiO3, are being considered, or are already being employed, for a large …

The electric-field-induced strain response mechanism in a polycrystalline ceramic/ceramic
composite of relaxor and ferroelectric materials has been studied using in situ high-energy x …

Ferroic materials are critical components in many modern devices. Polycrystalline states of
these materials dominate the market due to their cost effectiveness and ease of production …
