We consider a thin cylinder representing the material with thickness ε and discuss the asymptotic behavior of the time harmonic solutions to the model when ε tends to 0. We obtain a reduced model settled in the cross-section of the cylinder describing the dynamics of the plane components of the polarization and electric fields. ¨ Copyright © 2007 N. Aıssa and K.

Introduction In this work, we are interested in the model equations of ferroelectric materials intro- duced in [1] and discussed in [1–3] for example. We consider time harmonic solutions to the model as studied in [4]. We first rewrite the equations of the model given in [1] to precise the boundary conditions we will use. Let (E,H ) be the electromagnetic field 3 acting on the ferroelectric material Ω, which is a bounded and a regular domain of R . Let P be the electric polarization induced in Ω. The electric displacement is then given by D = (E + P ) where 0 is the electric permittitivity of the vacuum. The Maxwell equations satisfied by the electromagnetic field are μ∂tH − curlE = 0,
