Introduction to Piezoelectricity and Piezoelectric Ceramics
Introduction to Piezoelectricity and Piezoelectric Ceramics Piezoelectricity is the creation of electric potential in certain materials when they are under mechanical stress, such as bending, stretching, or compressing. Physicists refer to this phenomenon as the piezoelectric effect. The materials that exhibit these characteristics are called piezoelectric materials. The piezoelectric effect happens when the electric charge […]
Machining Hard and Soft Piezoelectric Materials
Uses of Machined Piezoelectric Materials The piezoelectric effect was discovered by brothers Pierre and Jacques Curie in 1880, and named after the Greek word piezein, that means to press or squeeze. They found that certain crystals were able to generate an electrical charge when mechanically loaded with tension or pressure. If exposed to an electric […]
