A parametrized variational principle of nonlinear piezoelectricity

  • Ji-Huan He Donghua University

Abstract

The variational theory is the theoretical basis of the finite element method, meshfree particle methods and other modern numerical techniques. The present paper establishes a family of variational principles for nonlinear piezoelectricity. A new constitutive relation is suggested, which is deduced as a stationary condition of a generalized variational principle.

Keywords

variational theory, piezoelectricity, constitutive equations.,
