TL;DR: An improved third order shear deformation theory is employed to formulate a governing equation for predicting free vibration of layered functionally graded beams in this article, where the Ritz method is adopted to solve the governing equation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported direct measurements of non-180° domain wall motion in ceramic lead zirconate titanate during application of sub-coercive cyclic driving electric fields using an in situ stroboscopic neutron diffraction technique.

TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution neutron diffraction has been used to investigate the structural origin of the large electric-field-induced remanent strain in 94(Bi1/2Na 1/2)TiO3-6BaTiO 3 ceramics, and the virgin material was found to be a mixture of near-cubic phases with slight tetragonal and rhombohedral distortions of a 0a0c+ and a−a −a−a− octahedral tilt type.

TL;DR: A high-temperature dielectric, (1−x) 0.6Bi1/2Na 1/2TiO3, off the morphotropic phase boundary of the parent matrix 0.5NbO3 has been developed for application as a high temperature capacitor.

TL;DR: In this paper, saturated domain switching textures of three different ferroelastic ceramic crystal systems were introduced and the extrinsic domain switching strain was calculated using a volume-weighted integral of a single pole figure.
