Abstract
This work presents the analytical solution to the multi-fields in the whole domain of 3D multiferroic materials with an ellipsoidal inclusion/inhomogeneity induced by eigenfields and remote loads. It is a unified approach for the fully-coupled analysis of single-phase multiferroic materials and multiferroic composite materials, which are verified by comparing with available results in the literature and finite element analysis. It is found that, inside the inclusion, the magnetic field due to the spontaneous polarization and the electric field due to the spontaneous magnetization increase monotonically with the aspect ratio of the inclusion for single-phase multiferroic materials, but they first increase and then decrease with the aspect ratio of the inclusion for multiferroic composite materials with much larger maximum magnitudes. Moreover, in the matrix of the piezoelectric-piezomagnetic heterostructure, some components of the multi-fields change dramatically with the aspect ratio of the inhomogeneity, but other components vary insignificantly. Furthermore, although the generalized strain field is usually not uniform in the matrix, the uniformity condition could be still achieved by tuning the eigenfields and remote loads even regardless of the specific shape of the ellipsoidal inhomogeneity. These results could be helpful for the design of multiferroic materials.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Engineering Science is not limited to a specific aspect of science and engineering but is instead devoted to a wide range of subfields in the engineering sciences. While it encourages a broad spectrum of contribution in the engineering sciences, its core interest lies in issues concerning material modeling and response. Articles of interdisciplinary nature are particularly welcome.
The primary goal of the new editors is to maintain high quality of publications. There will be a commitment to expediting the time taken for the publication of the papers. The articles that are sent for reviews will have names of the authors deleted with a view towards enhancing the objectivity and fairness of the review process.
Articles that are devoted to the purely mathematical aspects without a discussion of the physical implications of the results or the consideration of specific examples are discouraged. Articles concerning material science should not be limited merely to a description and recording of observations but should contain theoretical or quantitative discussion of the results.
