CAREER: Non-linear Electromechanics of Ferroelectric Ceramics

摘要（0238522）乍得兰迪斯，莱斯大学这个职业生涯项目的重点是研究，旨在发展的三维，完全耦合，本构关系和断裂力学理论的性能和可靠性建模的铁电陶瓷器件。从微机电自洽模型获得的信息将被纳入唯象本构框架，本构定律将被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，通过网络广泛传播计算机代码，研究生和本科生的参与和指导，以及将建模和分析工具转移给器件设计者和研究人员。这是CMS/ENG部门的一个新的职业奖。

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.
