  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

The scientific results on the resonant electromechanical vibrations of piezoceramic plates in the form of disks, rings, and polygons obtained over the last 30 years are analyzed, systematized, and generalized. Emphasis is on experimental methods. It is shown that all piezoceramic plates have vibration modes at which deformations are in-phase over the entire volume of the body
