Abstract : For describing mutually coupled dissipative processes in ferroelectrics, in particular ferroelectric domain switching and viscoelasticity, a hybrid micromechanical - rheological constitutive model is developed and embedded in the framework of a multiscale modeling approach. The mathematical theory is consistent against the background of rational thermodynamics and deals with two types of internal variables. The advanced modeling approach is applied to identify novel energy harvesting cycles exploiting dissipative effects, resulting in a major electric work output.
