Abstract: The quasi-stationary converse flexoelectric effect in SrTiO$_3$ single crystal thin plates has been studied and flexoelectric coefficients have been estimated. Induced inhomogeneous strain accompanied by hysteresis and relaxation processes have been investigated.

Keywords: flexoelectric effect, strontium titanate, ferroelectrics, elasticity, relaxation.
