Abstract
A particle stretching model under the influence of an electric field has been developed in the case of a composite consisting of metallic granules of diameters ranging from 100 to 2000 Å dispersed in an oxide glass matrix. A one‐dimensional heat equation has been solved in this system to delineate the temperature profile within the specimen. The critical field for switching has been computed and found to be of the same order of magnitude as that observed experimentally.
