Abstract

A micromechanics model based on periodic microstructure is developed to predict the overall properties of piezoelectric composites. Analytic estimates of the overall elastic, dielectric, and piezoelectric properties of two-phase piezoelectric composites are obtained with the aid of equivalent inclusion method and Fourier series expansion. The special case of piezoelectric materials containing periodically distributed cracks is briefly discussed.
