Effect of heating on the near-surface inhomogeneity of electrical and mechanical fields in dielectrics (Q2808395)

The authors apply relations of the local gradient theory of dielectrics that allow, for the local mass displacement process, to investigate the stress-strain state and the polarization of a hollow sphere free from force loading. On the sphere surfaces different temperature values are kept. It is shown that the relations of the non-local theory enable one to estimate the effect of the temperature gradient on the near-surface inhomogeneity of stress, the polarization and the bound charge fields. These relations also describe the pyroelectric and thermopolarization effects.
