Abstract

We discuss the microscopic deformation at the crack tip of ferroelectric ceramics by domain switching. Experiment for polycrystal ferroelectrics after out-of-plane poling indicates the crack tip domain switch by the application of a lateral electric field. The theory of crack tip domain switch is presented to explain electric fracture. The analysis is developed for both in-plane and out-of-plane poling. Implication on how to raise the fracture toughness of ferroelectrics will be addressed.
