It is widely accepted that the singular term plays a leading role in driving domain switching around the crack tip of ferroelectric ceramics. When an applied electric field approaches or even exceeds the coercive one, however, non-singular terms are no longer negligible and the switching of a large or global scale takes place. To analyze the large scale switching, one has to get a full asymptotic solution to the electric field in the vicinity of the crack tip. Take a double cantilever beam specimen as an example. The derivation of the full electric field is simplified as a mixed boundary value problem of an infinite strip containing a semi-infinite impermeable crack. The boundary value problem is solved by an analytic function and a conformal mapping to yield a full electric field solution in a closed form. Based on the full field solution, the large scale domain switching is examined. The switching zones predicted by the large and small scale switching models are illustrated and compared with each other near the tip of a stationary crack. ferroelectric ceramics, domain switching, electric field, analytic function, impermeable crack, strip
