NOUN
- electricity produced by mechanical pressure on certain crystals (notably quartz or Rochelle salt); alternatively, electrostatic stress produces a change in the linear dimensions of the crystal
How To Use piezoelectric effect In A Sentence
- The evolution of elastic properties is connected with the secondary piezoelectric effect.
- This phenomenon, called the piezoelectric effect, has been well known in certain crystals for more than a century and is the driving force behind quartz clocks and other applications. PhysOrg.com - latest science and technology news stories
- Ultrasonic motors (USM) are a new type actuator which is based on the concept of driving the rotor by a mechanical vibration excited on the stator via piezoelectric effect. PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
- According to piezoelectric effects, the principle and the structure of self-generating of mechanic energy are also introduced.
