Piezoelectric Ceramic Resonators

Part of the book series: Topics in Mining, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering ((TMMME))

Abstract

Applications of piezoelectric resonators for the measurement of material properties by the resonance methods are discussed in details including general properties of impedance spectrum for the piezoelectric resonator at resonance. Methods for the measurement of complete set of electromechanical material tensors, coupling coefficients, mechanical quality, Poisson’s ratio etc. are described in details including error analysis. The temperature coefficients of the resonance frequency for each piezoelectric ceramic resonator used for the material property measurement are defined and calculated as a function of material data temperature coefficients.
