Basics of Piezoelectric Ceramics
About piezoelectric ceramics
Piezoelectric ceramics is special ceramics that generate electrical energy when a force is applied (piezoelectric effect) and vice versa (reverse piezoelectric effect).
It is a key technology for developing ultrasonic transducers with frequency, output, shape, and characteristics suitable for the purpose.
