Electric water heater and piezoelectric force transducer
What is a piezoelectric force transducer (or sensor)? A transducer is a device that transmits power from one system to another. In the case of the piezoelectric, they power comes in the form of electricity from a piezoelectric material acted on. Piezoelectricity may be described as the property of some materials that become electrically charged when subject to mechanical stress. These special materials also show a similar effect by undergoing mechanical deformation due to the application of an electric field. This effect was first discovered in 1880 in naturally occurring single crystals such as quartz. The reason certain materials have piezoelectric effects is related to the lack of symmetry in the unit cell. With the lack of symmetry, electric dipoles form due to mechanical distortion. Piezoelectric material characteristics depend on stress, strain, displacement and the applied electric field on the material. Table 1 shows a summery of the basic parameters of a piezoelectric material. Figure 1 – Symbols and Terminology, expands the basic parameters. The materials direction of polarization is designated as the z-axis of an orthogonal crystallographic system. The x.y.z axes are represented as 1,2,3 direction
