Instabilities in solids and structures are ubiquitous across all length and time scales, and
engineering design principles have commonly aimed at preventing instability. However …

Understanding the electromechanical response of bulk polycrystalline ferroelectric ceramics
requires scale-bridging approaches. Recent advances in fast numerical methods to compute …

Ferroelectric ceramics are of interest for engineering applications because of their electro-
mechanical coupling and the unique ability to permanently alter their atomic-level dipole …

Our understanding of the rate-dependent electro-mechanical response of ferroelectric
ceramics is incomplete–primarily due to limited experimental data characterizing the …

Predicting and controlling the rate-dependent electro-mechanical switching in ferroelectric
ceramics is challenging due to our current lack of understanding the underlying domain …

We investigate the fatigue behavior of bulk polycrystalline lead zirconate titanate (PZT)

We investigate the influence of stress-induced damage on the effective viscoelastic
response of two-phase composites having constituents that undergo solid-solid phase …

Ferroelektrika weisen zahlreiche bemerkenswerte lineare als auch nichtlineare Effekte auf,
weshalb diese Materialien in Wissenschaft und Technik weitläufig untersucht und genutzt …

The complex domain structure in ferroelectrics gives rise to electromechanical coupling, and
its evolution (via domain switching) results in a time-dependent (ie viscoelastic) response …
