Abstract
A constitutive relation is developed to describe the nonlinear behavior of ferroelectric ceramics subjected to external stress and electric field. The theoretical development considers each domain as an inclusion. The Helmholtz and Gibbs free energy of the constituent element are derived by using a micromechanics approach. They are functionals of the orientation distribution function (ODF) that represents the domain distribution patterns. By applying the internal variable theory and expanding ODF in Fourier series, the yield condition, evolution of ODF, and constitutive relation are obtained. Theoretical results agree with experiments.
