Flexoelectricity is a fundamental property found in all nano/micro-scale dielectric materials,
even those with centrosymmetry. It describes coupling between electric field and nonuniform …

We first revisit the mathematical modeling of the flexoelectric effect in the context of
continuum mechanics at infinitesimal deformations. We establish and clarify the relation …

Remodelling is an important process in bones in order to maintain bone mass and to
recover cracks which naturally develop within the bone material. There is agreement in the …

Flexoelectricity is an electromechanical coupling between the electric field and the
mechanical strain gradient, as well as between the mechanical strains and the electric field …

We present a formulation for high-order generalized periodicity conditions in the context of a
high-order electromechanical theory including flexoelectricity, strain gradient elasticity and …

The flexoelectric effect, coupling polarization and strain gradient as well as strain and
electric field gradients, is universal to dielectrics, but, as compared to piezoelectricity, it is …

We present a formulation for the weak enforcement of continuity conditions at material
interfaces in high‐order problems by means of Nitsche's method, which is particularly suited …

Piezoelectrics working in a temperature varying environment are prone to thermo-electro-
mechanical fracture due to their brittle nature. In the meantime, flexoelectricity can greatly …

Mixed finite element formulations enable the use of simple C 0 continuous interpolation
functions and standard finite element meshes for the numerical solution of (nonlocal) …

The remodelling process in bones is closely related to electromechanical phenomena. In
addition to streaming potentials and piezoelectricity, flexoelectricity has been found to serve …
