Theoretical modeling of small-scale domain switching and fracture of ferroelectric materials

The intrinsic electromechanical properties and quick response to external excitations make ferroelectrics an ideal material for fabrication of sensors, actuators and adaptive (smart) structures. Ferroelectrics have been increasingly employed beyond the linear regime as characterized by linear pie...
