A variational, finite‐deformation constitutive model for piezoelectric materials

Abstract: SUMMARYWe present a constitutive model for piezoelectric materials. The model is fully variational and supports finite kinematics. The postulated free energy depends on the deformation mapping and an electric vector potential, from which the strain and the electric displacement are derived, respectively. The divergence-free condition of the electric vector potential is enforced by means of a penalty method, which leads to a positive definite tangent for the system of equations that represent the problem. The p… Show more

“…Compared with recent works on the same theme (e.g. [14]) the inclusion of the magnetic field, the derivation of novel electro-magnetic wave equations and the generalization of the boundary conditions were the major contributions. Further improvements in the number of ingredients and depth of numerical tests are being performed.…”
