2. One of the first continuum micro-electromechanical ferroelectric switching models. Develops a polycrystalline ferroelectric constitutive model assuming that the stress, electric field and domain state are homogeneous within each grain. The stress and electric field are assumed to be homogeneous in the polycrystal as well (the Reuss approximation) and the strain and electric displacement are the volume averages over the individual grains

Remanent strain invariants are identified and used to formulate the remanent potential for the phenomenological theory of [*26]. The theory is shown to reproduce the unusual behavior that a pure shear stress applied to the material does not result in a pure shear strain
