Domain switching of poled dielectric ceramics in actuators induces tensile stresses in the polarization direction in both the end margin and the end termination which, in turn, result in cracking and create a major reliability problem. A method of reducing these poling-induced tensile stresses is devised in the present study. This is achieved by dividing the poled region into blocks of poled region...
