Piezoelectric Effect is the ability of certain materials to generate an electric charge in response to applied mechanical stress.
What is piezo electric ?
ROOT!
PiezoelectricityGreek root Latin root
“piezein” to press “Electrum”amber
DISCOVERYDiscovered in 1880 by brothers Pierre and Jacques Curie in quartz crystals
Developing theories… Pierre and Jacques Curie predicted and
demonstrated the piezoelectric effect using tinfoil, glue, wire, magnets.
They showed that crystals of tourmaline, quartz, topaz, and Rochelle salt generate electrical polarization from mechanical stress.
The converse effect was mathematically derived by Gabriel Lippman in 1881 using fundamental thermodynamic principles and was later experimentally confirmed by the Curies.

mechanical distortion
Internal working The effect is explained by the displacement of ions
in crystals that have a nonsymmetrical unit cell When the crystal is compressed, the ions in each
unit cell are displaced, causing the electric polarization of the unit cell.
Because of the regularity of crystalline structure, these effects accumulate, causing the appearance of an electric potential difference between certain faces of the crystal.
When an external electric field is applied to the crystal, the ions in each unit cell are displaced by electrostatic forces, resulting in the mechanical deformation of the whole crystal.

the compression design features high rigidity, making it useful for implementation in high frequency pressure and force sensors
Configurations Grey- test structure. Red- piezoelectric
crystals Blue- Sensor housing The black electrode is
where the charge from the crystals accumulates before it is conditioned by the yellow, micro-circuit.
pressure sensors utilize a diaphragm to collect pressure, which is simply force applied over an area.
Pros and Cons Have a high Stiffness
value and produce a high output with very little strain.
Ideal for rugged use. Excellent linearity
over a wide amplitude.
Ideal for continuous online condition monitoring smart systems.
Can be used only for dynamic pressure sensing as in case of static sensing the signals will decay away.
Operation over long cables may affect frequency response and introduce noise and distortion, the cables need to be protected.
Sonic and Ultrasonic Applications
Sonar with Ultrasonic time-domain reflectometers
Materials testing to detect flaws inside cast metals and stone objects as well as measure elasticity or viscosity in gases and liquids
Compact sensitive microphones and guitar pickups.

Motor Applications Piezoelectric elements can be
used in laser mirror alignment, where their ability to move a large mass (the mirror mount) over microscopic distances is exploited. By electronically vibrating the mirror it gives the light reflected off it a Doppler shift to fine tune the laser's frequency.
The piezo motor is viewed as a high-precision replacement for the stepper motor.
