Non-Linear Behaviour of Piezoelectric Ceramics

  • Chapter
Multifunctional Polycrystalline Ferroelectric Materials

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 140))

Abstract

By their ferroelectric nature, ferro-piezoelectric ceramics have a non-linear behaviour. This nature is reinforced by their notably complex grain and domain structure, which leads to a less linear behaviour than is expected for a single crystal.
