This paper is concerned with the microstructure of adhesive joints composed of BaTiO3 ceramic material and two kinds of adhesives, with a special emphasis on the numerical modelling of grain size, shape and material porosity. BaTiO3 powder for use in stacked-disk multilayer actuator production is manufactured using the solid-state technique. The properties of BaTiO3 material at each stage of its fabrication that influence its application for the stacked-disk multilayer actuator are presented and discussed. The parameters characterising the properties of the fabricated pellets are also described. Implicit time-discretisation and consistent tangent operators are employed. A 3D microstructure model of BaTiO3 using Digimat-FE software is generated. Then, effective elastic constants of BaTiO3 and epoxy adhesive composites are calculated by numerical simulation. The Mori-Tanaka homogenisation scheme for representative volume elements of BaTiO (3) and epoxy adhesives composites is carried out using Digimat-MF software in order to obtain failure characteristics of the composite material.
