Book description

Starting from the fundamentals, this book provides a concise yet complete treatment of piezoelectric materials, an important class of smart materials that are useful as both actuators and sensors. Including case studies, the text introduces different types of dielectric materials, describes the preparation and properties of various piezoelectric materials used in device applications, and presents various engineering and medical applications of piezoelectric materials. It also discusses in detail the design and virtual prototyping of piezoelectric devices using commercially available software tools such as ANSYS and PAFEC.
