Fundamentals of Piezoelectricity (Oxford Science Publications)

This book provides a basic understanding of piezoelectricity--a form of energy conversion which has earned considerable attention due to its application in useful devices such as ultrasonic generators, filters, and actuators. Because an understanding of the piezoelectric interaction process depends on knowledge of both crystallographic phenomena and the electronic fundamentals of electromechanical transducers, this book covers these areas in considerable detail. The method of analysis is general and macroscopic, and can be extended to the discussion of electromechanical interactions in solid state physics. Details of electromechanical measurements are illustrated and recent applications reviewed.Ikeda, Takuro is the author of 'Fundamentals of Piezoelectricity (Oxford Science Publications)', published 1990 under ISBN 9780198563396 and ISBN 0198563396.
