Lee, J.D., Chen, Y. and Eskandarian, A. (2003) “Wave Propagation in Micromorphic Ferroelectric Solids”, Proceedings of IMECE’03 2003 ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition, Washington, D.C., November 16-21.

Abstract: The balance laws of mass, microinertia, linear momentum, moment of momentum, energy, and entropy for microcontinuum are integrated with the Maxwell’s equations. The general constitutive theory for micromorphic electromagnetic thermoelastic solid is constructed. Linear constitutive equations of specialized micromorphic theory for ferroelectric solids with axis symmetry are derived. The frequency-wave-vector relations of wave propagating in perovskites parallel and perpendicular to its c-axis are obtained.
