Abstract
As a first application of the theory, explicit results are worked out for the basic case of ideal elastic dielectrics filled with initially spherical particles that are distributed either isotropically or in chain-like formations and that are ideal elastic dielectrics themselves. The effects that the permittivity, stiffness, volume fraction, and spatial distribution of the particles have on the overall electrostrictive deformation (induced by the application of a uniaxial electric field) of the composite are discussed in detail.
