Abstract
Recognition of the importance of electric quadrupoles allows a new interpretation of the flexoelectric phenomenon to be proposed. Meyer's model and the influence of charge are also discussed.
Résumé
La prise en compte des densités quadrupolaires électriques permet de proposer une nouvelle interprétation du phénomène de flexoélectricité. Nous discutons aussi le modèle de Meyer et certains effets de charge.
