FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF THE CONTACT DEFORMATION OF PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIALS

Piezoelectric materials in the forms of both bulk and thin-film have been widely used as actuators and sensors due to their electromechanical coupling. The characterization of piezoelectric materials plays an important role in determining device performance and reliability. Instrumented indentation...
