Flexoelectric materials exhibit coupling between electric polarization and mechanical strain
gradient. At the nano-scale and micro-scale, these materials offer a promising potential for …

Classical piezoelectric elasticity theory fails to explain the size-dependent electro-
mechanical behaviour. The strain gradient elasticity and flexoelectricity are responsible for …

The evaluation of flexoelectric composites with architected microstructures requires a
reasonable estimation of their effective properties. To accomplish this, a computational …

This study focuses on enhancing flexoelectricity in composites and develops a new
micromechanical analytical framework to determine the effective electromechanical …

This paper presents a Helmholtz Resonator-type Flexoelectric Acoustic Energy Harvester
(HR-FAEH), composed of a Helmholtz Resonator (HR) and a double-sided Flexoelectric …

A multilayered rectangular flexoelectric structure is considered. This composite has a unit
cell of N-constituents which belong to the cubic crystal symmetry. Using the two-scale …

In the manuscript, piezoelectric composites with non-uniform imperfect contact at the
interface are studied. For this, the two-scales asymptotic homogenization method is used to …

This paper presents the coupling between curvilinearity and effective modulus for a set of
mathematically admissible high-symmetry and low-symmetry fiber architectures. The contour …

A micromechanical model for the analysis of structurally periodic flexoelectric plates with
periodically varying thickness is developed on the basis of asymptotic homogenization. The …

The present article deals with the reflection and transmission of waves at an interface of
piezoelectric (ALN & PZT-5T) half-spaces with microstructures. Unlike the classical …
