Abstract

AbstractThe theoretical background of nonlinear constitutive magneto‐ferroelectric behavior as well as the Finite Element implementation are presented. On this basis the polarization in the ferroelectric matrix (BaTiO3) with embedded dielectric‐magnetostrictive particels (CoFe2O4) is simulated and the resulting effects are analyzed. Numerical simulations focus on the prediction of local crystal orientations and residual stress going along with the poling process, in the future supplying information on favorable electric‐magnetic loading sequences. Further, multifield homogenization procedures enable the prediction of the electromagnetomechanical properties of smart multiferroic composites and supply useful means for their optimization. The resulting final state of a poling simulation can be implemented as a starting condition for approximate linear simulations. (© 2014 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
