Abstract

This review presents the progress and current status of the investigation on electromechamical deformation and fracture of piezoelectric/ferroelectric materials. An attempt is made to summarize a few fundamental aspects, which include electromechanical constitutive relations, piezoelectric micromechanics and electric fracture and fatigue, instead of describing all technological backgrounds, basic physics, experimental findings, and theoretical developments. A number of open questions and future prospective are presented. It is hoped that this review will encourage people to joint the exploration of this important and interesting field.
