Abstract

In this chapter we develop the nonlinear theory of electroelasticity for large deformations and strong electric fields. Readers who are only interested in the linear theory of piezoelectricity may skip this chapter and begin with Chap. 2, Sect. 2.2. This chapter uses the two-point Cartesian tensor notation, the summation convention for repeated tensor indices, and the convention that a comma followed by an index denotes partial differentiation with respect to the coordinate associated with the index.
