Abstract

Mode I steady crack growth is analyzed to determine the toughening due to domain switching in poled ferroelectric ceramics. A multi-axial, electromechanically coupled, incremental constitutive theory is applied to model the material behavior of the ferroelectric ceramic. The constitutive law is then implemented within the finite element method to study steady crack growth. The effects of poling direction, either out of plane or in plane, and poling magnitude on the fracture toughness are investigated. Results for the predicted fracture toughness, remanent strain and remanent polarization distributions, and domain switching zone shapes and sizes are presented. Finally, the model predictions are discussed in comparison to experimental observations.
