The relationship between elastic fatigue and electrical cyclic loading in alpha-phase poly(vinylidene fluoride) films has been investigated. Our experimental studies have shown that the electric-field-induced fatigue behavior can be described by a stress relaxation, which belongs to the Kohlrausch function group, and the corresponding exponent is a modified two-parameter Weibull distribution function.
