“…Notably, this means a majority of strain-mediated magnetoelectric composites are brittle and rigid. Regarding composite configurations, the most popular is particulate-matrix, stack laminate, rod-matrix, and core-shell, also referred to as 0-3, 2-2, 1-3, and pseudo-1-D, respectively (Palneedi et al, 2016; Shi et al, 2021). Each configuration has different benefits; such as 2-2 composites being highly studied and easily modeled (Bichurin and Petrov, 2012; Chang and Carman, 2007; Hockel et al, 2011; Newacheck and Youssef, 2019b; Subhani et al, 2017; Truong and Roundy, 2020; Wang and Zhou, 2011; Zhou et al, 2016).…”
