Abstract: The rapid development of smart wearable devices makes a higher requirement for the power supply components, including endurance, convenience and lightweight and so on. The thermoelectric devices can directly convert the thermal energy released by human metabolism into electricity, which can be furth...
Abstract: The singularities of the coupled fields near the apex of a piezoelectric/piezomagnetic composite wedge under antiplane deformation were studied. With the complex variable function theory and the eigenfunction expansion method, the explicit expressions of the eigenfunction equations for singularity o...
Abstract: Based on the couple stress theory, the axisymmetric contact problem between a rigid insulating spherical punch and a transversely isotropic piezoelectric half-space was studied. With the Hankel integral transform and the integral least squares approach, the analytical solutions of the contact pressu...
Abstract: The performances of piezoelectric PN junction photovoltaic cells are closely related to the internal potential barrier configurations and the distributions of carriers, and can be tuned through carrier transport characteristic changes by the piezopotentials under the piezo-effect. However, the class...
Abstract: Piezoelectric semiconductors (PSs) possess the characteristics of coexistence of piezoelectric and semiconductor properties and have broad application prospects in new multifunctional electronic/optoelectronic devices. It is very important to theoretically analyze multi-field coupling mechanical res...
Abstract: The surface elastic and flexoelectric effects significantly influence the mechanical behaviors of nanoscale materials and structures. The static buckling behaviors of piezoelectric semiconductor (PS) beams were studied through the establishment of an Euler-Bernoulli beam theoretical model in view of...
Abstract: Pressure has significant influences on the crystal structures and functional properties of perovskite ferroelectric materials, but relatively minor impact on the phase transition temperature, and can serve as an effective means to enhance the dielectric and ferroelectric properties of these material...
Abstract: The ferroelectric tunneling junction, with a metal-ferroelectric ultra-thin film-metal structure, has different tunneling resistance states through polarization manipulation, leading to potential applications in next-generation information storage devices with low-power consumption, fast reading/wri...
Abstract: Based on the Gurtin-Murdoch surface elasticity theory and the magnetoelectroelasticity (MEE) theory, the fracture behaviors of MEE materials containing nanoscale lip-shaped orifice with 2 asymmetric cracks under anti-plane mechanical loads and in-plane electromagnetic loads were investigated with th...
Abstract: A new PD-FEM (peridynamics-finite element method) hybrid model method was proposed for solving thermal-mechanical coupling problems. Its solution region was divided into peridynamics and finite element subregions. The hybrid bonds introduced to mixed these two subregions were composed of finite elem...
