Multiaxial deformation behavior of PZT from torsion tests
Torsion tests were conducted on thin-walled tubes made of a commercial soft PZT. These tests in combination with literature results from tensile and compression tests allowed determination of the nonsymmetric yield condition for the plastic deformations. Good agreement with the Drucker-Prager criterion was found.
