CAREER: Non-linear Electromechanics of Ferroelectric Ceramics

Chad Landis (0238522), Rice university .该CAREER项目主要致力于开发铁电陶瓷器件性能和可靠性建模的三维、全耦合、本构定律和断裂力学理论。从微机电自洽模型中获得的信息将被纳入现象学本构框架，并将本构定律应用于分析铁电陶瓷的断裂过程。广泛的影响包括国内和国际合作，计算机代码在网络上的广泛传播，研究生和本科生的参与和指导，以及建模和分析工具向设备设计师和研究人员的转移。将强调与大学生群体、妇女和少数民族的接触。这是CMS/ENG部门的新职业奖。

Abstract (0238522)Chad Landis, Rice UniversityThis CAREER project is focused on the studies that are aimed at developing the 3 dimensional, fully coupled, constitutive laws and fracture mechanics theories for performance and reliability modeling of ferroelectric ceramics devices. Information obtained from microelectromechanical self consistent models will be incorporated into a phenomenological constitutive framework, and the constitutive laws will be applied to analyze the fracture processes in ferroelectric ceramics.The broad impacts include both domestic and international collaborations,wide dissemination of computer codes over the web, graduate and undergraduate students involvement and mentoring, and the transfer of the modeling and analytical tools to device designers and researchers. Out reach to undergraduate groups and women and minorities will be emphasized.This is a new CAREER award of the CMS/ENG Division.
