Magnetoelectric multiferroics, where a ferromagnetic and a ferroelectric order coexist and
are coupled in a single phase, have been a hot topic in condensed matter physics for a long …

An automated experiment in multimodal imaging to probe structural, chemical, and
functional behaviors in complex materials and elucidate the dominant physical mechanisms …

The present article, provides a novel mixed finite element formulation for elastoplasticity
which is suitable for the discretization of thin‐walled structures using highly anisotropic …

The sensitivity of randomly distributed multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/polymer
nanocomposite sensors has been extensively investigated, while that of aligned …

This paper is concerned with modeling the polarization process in ferroelectric media. We
develop a thermodynamically consistent model, based on phenomenological descriptions of …

The paper investigates models of electrostriction by following a new approach though within
the basic laws of continuum mechanics. Three general requirements are considered. Firstly …

This paper is concerned with nonlinear modeling and efficient numerical simulation of
electrostrictive materials and structures. Two types of such materials are considered: relaxor …

In this article we discuss modeling of electrostrictive polymer plates as electro-elastic
material surfaces. A complete direct approach is developed without the need to involve the …

Ferroelectric materials undergo a phenomenon called domain switching when subjected to
electric fields exceeding a critical yielding value: an irreversible polarisation arises, that can …

A one-dimensional (1D) analytic example for dynamic displacement tracking in linear
viscoelastic solids is presented. Displacement tracking is achieved by actuation stresses that …
