The effect of a nonuniform electric load on the admittance and dynamic electromechanical coupling coefficient (EMCC) of energy converters is analyzed using, as examples, well-known problems of the forced vibrations of narrow piezoceramic plates with partial or split electrodes. It is shown that the antiphase excitation of vibrations can be effective to extract harmonics and to increase the operating frequencies of resonators. The presence of unelectroded sections can result in some increase in the EMCCof the principal resonance. If some electrodes are short-circuited, then odd and even longitudinal modes can be excited, which are absent when the electrodes are not split. The calculation of the stress state and admittance is in good agreement with experiments
