Abstract
The effective electroelastic properties and moduli of ferroelectric ceramics are calculated. Based on a statistical model, the effects of the shape of individual domain and crystallographic domain switching under an external field are firstly taken into consideration to predict the effective electroelastic constants. The model's prediction of the effective electroelastic properties and moduli of a BaTiO3 ceramic was found to be in agreement with the experimental results.
