Micromechanical Modeling of Effective Electro-Thermo-Elastic Properties of two-Phase Piezoelectric Composites

  • Conference paper
IUTAM Symposium on Microstructure-Property Interactions in Composite Materials

Part of the book series: Solid Mechanics and Its Applications ((SMIA,volume 37))

Abstract

A periodic microstructural model is developed to estimate the coupled electro-thermo-elastic response of piezoelectric composites. The model includes vital microstructural parameters, such as the constituent properties and shapes, and provides analytic estimates of the effective electro-thermo-elastic moduli of two-phase piezoelectric composites.
