This paper is concerned with a macroscopic constitutive law for domain switching effects,
which occur in ferroelectric ceramics. The three-dimensional model is thermodynamically …

This paper deals with simulations of the static and dynamic response, including shape and
vibration control, for piezoelectric bonded smart structures using various geometrically …

A geometrically nonlinear finite element (FE) model based on large rotation shell theory is
developed for static and dynamic analysis of piezoelectric integrated thin-walled structures …

Active materials are often applied in the form of plate-like smart composites. Therein, they
are combined with other (active or passive) materials that serve different purposes, such as …

The paper is focused on a piezoelectric solid shell finite element formulation. A
geometrically nonlinear theory allows large deformations and includes stability problems …

In this paper, a thermodynamically consistent minimum-type variational model for
ferroelectric materials in a macroscopical continuum approach is presented. The motivation …
