Rational models for piezoelectric curved interfaces

We study the electromechanical behavior of a thin interphase, constituted by a piezo- electric anisotropic shell-like thin layer, embedded between two generic three-dimensional piezo- electric bodies by means of the asymptotic analysis in a general curvilinear framework. After defining a small real dimensionless parameter ε, which will tend to zero, we characterize two different limit models and their associated limit problems, the so-called weak and strong piezoelectric curved interface models, respectively. Moreover, we identify the non classical electromechanical transmis- sion conditions at the interface between the two three-dimensional bodies.
