Understanding Ferroelastic Domain Reorientation as a Damping Mechanism in Ferroelectric Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites

Ferroelectric-reinforced metal matrix composites (FR-MMCs) offer the potential to improve damping characteristics of structural materials. Many structural materials are valued based on their stiffness and strength; however, stiff materials typically have limited inherent ability to dampen mechanica...
