Abstract
We study the piezoelectric resonances in poled PZT ceramics by means of a m icroscopic model. It connects the microscopic vibrations of the ionic units , cooperatively producing the piezoelectric effect, with the macroscopic pi ezoelectric parameters. The behaviour at the resonance is well described in a wide range of frequencies, allowing the calculation of piezoelectric con stants and the electromechanical coupling factors in terms of microscopic q uantities.
