Abstract
One of the most notable characteristics of ferroelectric materials is that they could undergo spontaneous polarization and spontaneous strain changes by applied fields. Reorientation of the spontaneous polarization and spontaneous polarization strain of ferroelectric inclusions in ferroelectric composites can change microstructures and affect effective electroelastic properties of ferroelectric composites. Based on orientation distribution function and its evolution as well as switching criterion, non-linear electromechanical coupling behaviour of ferroelectric composites is studied by application of micromechanics. A constitutive model of ferroelectric composites is developed. Comparison between analytical and experimental results shows that the model presented can describe many non-linear electromechanical coupling problems of ferroelectric composites such as polarization or depolarization, etc.
