The word piezo is derived from the Greek piezein,
which means to squeeze or press.
The effect known as piezoelectricity was discovered
by brothers Pierre and Jacques Curie in 1880.
Crystals which acquire a charge when compressed,
twisted or distorted are said to be piezoelectric.
Piezoelectric materials also show the opposite effect,
called converse piezoelectricity, where the application
of an electrical field creates mechanical deformation in
the crystal.

Crystals
Crystals are naturally occurring material
that can be induced to resonate or
vibrate at an exact frequency.
Crystals are anisotropic materials
physical properties depend on the direction
Quartz, a piezoelectric crystal that
provides excellent mechanical and
electrical stability, acquires a charge
when compressed, twisted, or distorted.
Quartz crystals are used as active
elements in oscillators
A Quartz "Crystal"
Isotropic materials have same physical properties in all directions

Piezoelectric Materials
Quartz (SiO2)
Barium Titanate (BaTiO3)
Gallium Orthophosphate (GaPO4),
Polymer materials like rubber, wool, wood
and silk exhibit piezoelectricity to some
extent
Applications
Microphones, guitars, sonar, motors
microbalances, clocks and vibration
sensors.

Piezoelectric Effect

When force is applied to a crystal , the crystal
atoms are displaced from their normal
positions
Displacement x is proportional to applied
force F

x F

where k is the stiffness in the order of 2 109 Nm1
The displacement can be summarised using
a transfer function

Transfer Function of an Element
When input signal of an element is changed suddenly the
output signal will not change instantaneously. The way in which
an element responds to sudden input changes are termed its
dynamic characteristics, which can be conveniently summarised
using a transfer function

Transfer function of an output signal is the product of
element transfer function and transfer function of the input
signal

A piezoelectric crystal gives a direct electrical output,

Piezoelectric crystals also produce an inverse effect
where an voltage applied to the crystal causes a
mechanical displacement.

1.Steady state sensitivity is equal to d / CN  CC . Thus
the system sensitivity depends on the cable


These disadvantages can be overcome by
introducing a charge amplifier into the
system as shown in Figure 2
30
This system gives an output proportional to  iN dt
i.e. an output proportional to charge q .
Since iN  dq
the system gives a non zero
dt
output for steady force input. From Figure 3 we
Have
i1  iF  i

and charge on feedback capacitor C F is
qF  CF V  VOUT 
(15)
For an ideal operational amplifier we have
i  i  0 and V  V

Poisson’s Ratio
When a sample of material is stretched in
one direction, it tends to get thinner in the
other two directions. Poisson's ratio (v) is a
measure of this tendency. It is defined as
the ratio of the strain in the direction of the
applied load to the strain normal to the
load. For a perfectly incompressible
material, the Poisson's ratio would be
exactly 0.5. Most practical engineering
materials have v between 0.0 and 0.5..
