Based on these decomposed strain gradients, we reformulate the general isotropic flexoelectric theory. To better illustrate the electromechanical coupling behaviors, we specialize the flexoelectric effects from
It is the purpose of this paper to place on record simple explicit expressions for the macroscopic electroelastic response and stability of layered composites with any number of ideal elastic dielectric phases under general electromechanical loading conditions. Inter alia, these expressions provide insight...
