“…PZT materials are usually glued on elastic structures and both can present nonlinear behaviors. The PZT material nonlinearities were studied to understand their dynamics (Abdelkefi et al, 2012; Guyomar et al, 1997, 2011; Parashar and Wagner, 2004; Von Wagner and Hagedorn, 2002; Wolf and Gottlieb, 2001), but if deriving a proper nonlinear PZT law, thermodynamically consistent, has been already addressed, obtaining the values of the coefficients for a practical application seems to be still an open field of investigation. Moreover, the aforementioned publications use a classical electric enthalpy function which is a high-order (smooth) polynomial in the strain, whereas in Leadenham and Erturks (2015), a low-order function that includes the absolute value of the strain (it is, thus, nonsmooth), is proposed and seems to be closer to what is measured in practice.…”
