| Title: | Dielectric response of spherically anisotropic graded piezoelectric composites | Authors: | Wei, EB Gu, GQ Poon, YM Shin, FG |
Issue Date: | 1-Oct-2007 | Source: | Journal of applied physics, 1 Oct. 2007, v. 102, no. 7, 074102, p. 1-7 | Abstract: | A graded piezoelectric composite consisting of a spherically anisotropic graded piezoelectric inclusion imbedded in an infinite nonpiezoelectric matrix, with the physical properties of the graded spherical inclusion having a power-law profile with respect to the radial variable r, is studied theoretically. Under an external uniform electric field, the electric displacement field and the elastic stress tensor field of this spherically anisotropic graded piezoelectric composite are derived exactly by means of displacement separation technique, based on the governing equations in the dilute limit. A piezoelectric response mechanism, in which the effective piezoelectric response vanishes along the z direction (or x,y directions), is revealed in this kind of graded piezoelectric composites. Furthermore, it is found that the effective dielectric constant decreases (or increases) with the volume fraction p of the inclusions if the exponent parameter k of the grading profile is larger (or smaller) than a critical value. | Keywords: | Composite materials Permittivity Piezoelectric materials |
