Abstract

Equations are given for calculating mechanical stress as a function of strain and electric field. The method described for calculating the bending deflection of the free end of a cantilevered, homogeneous, piezoceramic wafer can be used to determine the true polarization distribution created in the fabrication of piezoelectric transducers.
