Abstract
We show that the viscoelastic properties of polycrystalline ferroelectric ceramics can be significantly altered over a wide range of mechanical frequencies when domain switching is controlled by cyclic electric fields. The dynamic stiffness of lead zirconate titanate is shown to vary by more than 30%, while damping increases by an order of magnitude. Experimental results are interpreted by the aid of a continuum-mechanics model that captures the nonlinear electro-mechanically coupled material response for the full electric hysteresis.
