This contribution presents a multidisciplinary review of the so-called field-dependent
nonlinear piezoelectricity. It starts with an introduction that poses the literature analysis …

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 …

In this paper, a thermodynamically consistent minimum-type variational model for
ferroelectric materials in a macroscopical continuum approach is presented. The motivation …

A new approach for modeling hysteretic non-linear ferroelectric ceramics is presented,
based on a fully ferroelectric/ferroelastic coupled macroscopic material model. The material …

We are concerned with the mathematical modeling of the polarization process in
ferroelectric media. We assume that this dissipative process is governed by two constitutive …

ABSTRACT The Tangential-Displacement Normal-Normal-Stress (TDNNS) method is a
finite element method that was originally introduced for elastic solids and later extended to …

The paper is focused on a piezoelectric 3D hexahedral finite element formulation on the
basis of the space fiber rotation concept. The proposed electromechanical finite element has …

This paper is concerned with modeling the polarization process in ferroelectric media. We
develop a thermodynamically consistent model, based on phenomenological descriptions of …

Here, the domain switching in a ferroelectric and ferroelastic single crystal subjected to
electrical, electromechanical, and mechanical loading condition is studied. An isoparametric …

Piezoelectric materials are increasingly employed throughout the field of sensor and
actuator applications. The physical description leads to a boundary value problem with …
