Validation of the Micro-Electromechanics

In this section, the previously derived micro-electromechanical methodologies will be validated from the results of experiments as well as finite element models. Such examinations are reported in the literature with adequate topology

Validation of the micro-electromechanical model for piezoelectric composites with the aid of experimental and finite element modeling results available in the literature. 

As mentioned above, the correlation between specified and measured bulk material properties is problematic and further implications will become obvious in the subsequent detailed comparison between experiments and theory. Within the bounds of such variations and of the measurement accuracy, both representatives of the different micro-electromechanical modeling methodologies can be successfully validated.
