Tk. Munshi et al., MECHANICAL RESPONSE IN AN N-ELECTRODE PIEZO-QUARTZ BAR UNDER ELECTRICAL AND THERMAL EXCITATIONS, Acta Physica Polonica. A, 87(6), 1995, pp. 995-1002
The mechanical response in an N-electrode piezo-quartz bar where two c
onsecutive electrodes are separated by an unelectroded region has been
studied under electrical and thermal excitations. The bar is subjecte
d to a periodic polarization gradient and a constant flow of heat. The
method of operational calculus and Green's function has been used to
solve the problem. For time scale ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 s the respon
se becomes a linear function of time and is of the order of 10(-8) m.
