Modeling of the Stress-Dependent Hysteretic Dynamics of Ferroelectric Materials

Abstract:

In the most of its engineering applications, ferroelectric materials are often subjected to combined loadings in the electric and mechanical fields. To simulate the influence of the biased stresses on the hysteretic dynamics of the materials, a macroscopic differential model is proposed to model the hysteresis loops and butterfly-shaped behaviors caused by the polarization orientation switching with biased stresses. A group of numerical simulations are presented, and the comparison of theoretical results with its experimental counterparts is also presented.
