Global sensitivity analysis of electromechanical coupling behaviors for flexoelectric nanostructures

Recent research shows that flexoelectricity may prominently affect the electromechanical coupling responses of elastic dielectrics at the nanoscale. From the perspective of devices design, it is urgent to know how the input parameters affect the electromechanical coupling behaviors of flexoelectric nanostructures. In this work, global sensitivity analysis is applied to elastic dielectric nanoplates to decompose the attribution of each of the...
