hello everyone,
I've modeled a 3-D indentation simulation of piezoelectric material. I've modeled an analytical rigid cylindrical indenter which is displacement controlled and displacement is provided at reference point.
PZT patch is also modeled here in this problem I've considered two types ob BC's
i) conducting indenter
where the PZT patch top surface (contact zone only ) and the bottom surface is supplied zero volt
ii) insulating indenter
where no electrical BC's are given
as indenter is analytical rigid so no electrical DOF is available for a rigid element so all the electrical bc's are given to pzt
I'm not able to match results can anyone help me out
if the question is not clear feel free to
