Ferroelectrics have a spontaneous electrical polarization that is arranged into domains and
can be reversed by an externally-applied field. This high versatility makes them useful in …

Writing a book on smart materials bears a certain semblance to purchasing a high-end
laptop—due to rapid advances in the field, it is tempting to postpone the decision every six …

The aim of this book is to understand and describe the martensitic phase transformation and
the process of martensite platelet reorientation. These two key elements enable the author to …

Suspended piezoelectric thin films are key elements enabling high‐frequency filtering in
telecommunication devices. To meet the requirements of next‐generation electronics, it is …

This paper addresses the modeling of hysteresis and nonlinear constitutive relations in
piezoelectric materials at moderate to high drive levels. Hysteresis and nonlinearities are …

Piezoelectric response nonlinearity is approached using the Preisach description of
hysteretic systems as collection of distributed bistable units. The Preisach model and its …

Second-order memristors are considered as ideal synaptic emulators for their capability of
exhibiting Ca 2+-like dynamics. Recently, ferroelectric second-order memristors were …

This paper provides a theory for quantifying the hysteresis and constitutive nonlinearities
inherent to piezoceramic compounds through a combination of free energy analysis and …

This paper addresses the development of a unified framework for quantifying hysteresis and
constitutive nonlinearities inherent to ferroelectric, ferromagnetic and ferroelastic materials …

A temperature-dependent asymmetric Prandtl-Ishlinskii (TAPI) model is developed to
describe changes in hysteresis curves with respect to temperature found in the displacement …
