The flexoelectric effect, as a novel form of the electromechanical coupling phenomenon, has
attracted significant attention in the fields of materials science and electronic devices. It …

In many materials, impurities and imperfections play a critical role on the physical and
chemical properties. In the present review, some examples of such materials are discussed …

In dielectric materials, due to the flexoelectric effect, a large inhomogeneous deformation
can break or significantly alter the inversion symmetry of the material and induce net …

Flexoelectricity is a fundamental property found in all nano/micro-scale dielectric materials,
even those with centrosymmetry. It describes coupling between electric field and nonuniform …

For considering topological changes in a CAD-based framework, an isogeometric phase-
field based shape and topology optimization is developed. In this case, the diffuse interface …

A collocation mixed finite element method (MFEM) for direct and converse flexoelectricity in
piezoelectric materials is developed for 2D problems. The size-effect phenomenon in …

This paper develops the equilibrium equations describing the flexoelectric effect in soft
dielectrics under large deformations. Previous works have developed related theories using …

We present a general finite deformation higher-order gradient elasticity theory. The
governing equations of the higher-order gradient solid along with boundary conditions of …

Due to the stress concentration and large strain gradient around the crack tip, strong
flexoelectric effect would be produced there. Meanwhile, the flexoelectric effect could …

We first revisit the mathematical modeling of the flexoelectric effect in the context of
continuum mechanics at infinitesimal deformations. We establish and clarify the relation …
