    Experimenteller Aufbau zur Messung der Energiefreisetzungsrate für Risswachstum in PZT unter elektromechanischer Last
    Four-point-bending V-notched specimens of PZT poled parallel to the long axis are fractured under conditions of controlled crack growth in a custom-made device. In addition to the mechanical loading an electric field is applied parallel or anti parallel to the poling direction. This is a typical loading condition for the application of piezo- and ferroelectric ceramics, respectively. To determine the different contributions to the total energy release rate the mechanical and piezoelectric compliance as well as the electrical capacitance of the sample are acquired continuously with a special technique as a function of the crack length. The derivation of the data with respect to the crack surface allows calculating all parts of the total energy release rate on the basis of a single bending experiment for the first time. The main focus here is the presentation of the experimental method.
