An Introduction to the Theory of Piezoelectricity [electronic resource] / by Jiashi Yang.

Nonlinear Electroelasticity for Strong Fields -- Linear Piezoelectricity for Infinitesimal Fields -- Static Problems -- Vibrations of Finite Bodies -- Waves in Unbounded Regions -- Linear Equations for Small Fields Superposed on Finite Biasing Fields -- Cubic and Other Effects -- Piezoelectric Devices.

This volume is intended to provide researchers and graduate students with the basic aspects of the continuum modeling of electroelastic interactions in solids. A concise treatment of linear, nonlinear, static and dynamic theories and problems is presented. The emphasis on formulation and understanding of problems useful in device applications rather than solution techniques of mathematical problems. The mathematics used in this book is minimal. Audience This volume is suitable for a one-semester graduate course on electroelasticity. It can also be used as a reference for graduate students and researchers in mechanics and acoustics.
