“…or related connectivity patterns are almost always mentioned when the research is devoted to the composites based on ferroelectrics or related materials. Particular examples that have been experimentally studied include piezo-composites with connectivities 0-3, 1-3, 2-2, 2-3, 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 [5,10,48,49,[51][52][53][59][60][61]). …”

“…Based on the detailed analysis of results concerning composite materials and their effective properties, Khoroshun et al [5] placed emphasis on two main scientific directions in modern mechanics of piezo-active composites. The first direction represents the mechanics of the composites having regular (periodic) structures [52,53,61,63]. The second direction is related to the mechanics of stochastically heterogeneous materials, including the piezo-active composites with arbitrary connectivity, shape and distribution of structural elements [5].…”

“…It is often assumed that the inclusions have the shape of a spheroid [65,66] or a rectangular parallelepiped [52,67] and are aligned regularly in the matrix. An electromechanical interaction between each inclusion and the surrounding matrix is taken into account in connection with internal electric and mechanical fields and boundary conditions for the specific shape of the inclusion.…”

“…A considerable amount of research is devoted to 0-3 composites [10,48,49,52,65,66] that contain a system of isolated piezoelectric inclusions embedded in a large matrix (being either piezo-passive or piezo-active). It is often assumed that the inclusions have the shape of a spheroid [65,66] or a rectangular parallelepiped [52,67] and are aligned regularly in the matrix.…”

“…The accompanying method, termed the method of regularisation of structure [5], is often applied to the piezo-active composites with a certain disorder in the shape and distribution of the structural elements. In this method the real composite sample is substituted by a model material with regularly distributed structural elements having the appropriate shape [10,52,53,63]. In such a model material, a periodic representative volume element is chosen and analysed using the appropriate micromechanical methods, including the finite-element method (FEM) [64,65].…”

An effect that links a mechanical action (mechanical stress or strain) with an electric response (electric field, displacement or polarisation) is the piezoelectric effect or, more exactly, the direct piezoelectric effect [1]. This effect was first studied by brothers P. Curie and J. Curie in experimental work (1880) on the behaviour of quartz single crystals (SCs) subjected to an external mechanical stress. At a later date, the converse piezoelectric effect was revealed in acentric dielectric SCs wherein an external electric field generated a mechanical response, i.e., a stress or strain of the sample [2,3]; similar to electrostriction of dielectrics [3,4]. The piezoelectric effect follows a linear relationship between electric and mechanical variables and originates from the displacement of ions of an acentric SC under an applied electric field [1][2][3][4]. This relationship means that there is change in the sign of the effect when the direction of the external electric field is switched in the piezo-active medium, unlike electrostriction which follows a quadratic effect [3,4] and does not undergo switching with the electric field. Despite the linear character, the piezoelectric response of a SC sample is often intricate owing to various interconnections between the piezoelectric and other properties such as the elastic, dielectric (including pyro-and ferroelectric) and thermal properties [3]. The piezoelectric response of poled ferroelectric ceramic (FC) and composite samples are even more complicated in comparison to ferroelectric SCs due to microstructural, domain, orientation, intrinsic and extrinsic contributions, etc. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11].Piezoelectricity was initially discovered as a physical phenomenon and has led to a range of new adapted materials and technologies in the past 130 years. It was a long and sometimes difficult path to improve the initially minor effect to a point where is was a real and even superior competitor to the electro-dynamic magnetic principal, which for a long time was the only effective way to transform electrical energy or signals into mechanical ones or vice versa [11]. In the history of piezoelectric materials there is the remarkable era concerned with the perovskite-type FC of BaTiO 3 . After discovering the ferroelectric properties and ability to orient the ferroelectric domains within grains (or crystallites) of FC BaTiO 3 in an external electric field, a new way of producing the highly-effective piezoelectric materials was opened in the 1940s.

The physical and microgeometric factors that are able to improve the piezoelectric performance, anisotropy, and energy‐harvesting characteristics of modern 1‐3‐type composites based on ferroelectrics are discussed. The composite connectivity patterns of particular interest for this study include 1‐3‐0, 1‐0‐3, and 1‐2‐2. The active components of the studied composites are chosen from conventional perovskite‐type ferroelectric ceramics, lead‐free materials, or domain‐engineered single crystals, all of which exhibit particularly intriguing electromechanical properties. Examples of the large anisotropy of piezoelectric coefficients, electromechanical coupling factors, squared figures of merit, and large hydrostatic parameters of the three‐component 1‐3‐type composites are considered in the context of their piezotechnical applications. The applications of these materials include piezoelectric transducers, sensors, energy‐harvesting, and hydroacoustic devices.
