Abstract
Domain splitting in the grains of ferroelectric ceramics reduces the internal elastic stresses which are caused by spontaneous deformation. Hysteresis switching reflects the increase or absence of internal stress. Small signal elastic and electric ac fields applied to the ceramic cause reversible domain wall motion thus giving contributions to the dielectric, piezoelectric and elastic constants of these materials.Keywords
