Abstract

A fully electromechanically coupled, three dimensional phenomenological constitutive model for relaxor ferroelectric materials was developed for the use in a finite-element-method (FEM) solution procedure. This macroscopic model was used to simulate the macroscopic electromechanical response of lead-free ergodic 0.94Na(1/2)Bi(1/2)TiO(3) -0.06BaTiO(3) and non-ergodic 0.90Na(1/2)Bi(1/2)TiO(3) - 0.06BaTiO(3) - 0.04K(0.5)Na(0.5)NbO(3) relaxor materials. The presented constitutive model is capable of accounting for the observed pinched hysteretic response as well as non-deviatoric polarization induced strain and internal order transitions. Time integration of the history dependent internal variables is done with a predictor-corrector integration scheme. The adaptability of the constitutive model regarding the pinching of the hystereses is shown. Simulations are compared to experimental observations.
