Abstract

This chapter specializes in the electro-elastic fields induced by the surface or internal electrode in piezoelectric materials or structures. In Section 1, the distributions of the electro-elastic fields near strip-shaped and circular surface electrodes in a piezoelectric half-space are given. In Section 2, the analytical solution to the interfacial electrodes in anisotropic piezoelectric bi-materials is obtained using the Stroh method and the characteristics of coupled fields are revealed. In Section 3, the deformation and stress distributions of piezoelectric ceramic-electrode stacked structure are simulated by the finite element method and measured experimentally.
