Abstract

In this paper, Crack Opening Displacement (COD) is introduced to study the fracture and fatigue of ferroelectrics. A fundamental solution for the COD of ferroelectrics is derived considering both the piezoelectric effect and ferroelectric effect. Bases on this solution, a nonlinear COD fracture model of ferroelectrics, which takes into account the effect of domain switching, is developed and accords well with the experimental results. Furthermore, fatigue crack growth in ferroelectrics is analytically investigated using this COD model. Comparison between the experimental results and the predicted electric-field-induced fatigue crack growth shows the applicability of the proposed COD model.
