Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around piezoelectrics, specifically seeking basic information about their physics and applications. Participants explore resources and provide suggestions for further inquiry.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests basic information about piezoelectrics, expressing difficulty in finding relevant resources on the physics behind them.
  • Another participant corrects the spelling of "piezoelectrics" and suggests that squeezing these materials generates voltage, inviting further specific questions.
  • A participant shares their experience with a company related to piezoelectrics and offers a link to a short description of the science involved.
  • Additional resources are suggested, including links to discussions about MEMS and technical specifications related to piezoelectrics.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for more information about piezoelectrics, but there is no consensus on specific resources or the depth of information required.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express uncertainty about what specific information is being sought, and the discussion includes references to external links that may or may not fully address the original inquiry.

Any information on piezoelectrics would be great.

Physics news on Phys.org
It is spelled with a "z" and no dash... squeeze it and you get a voltage... :)

If you have a specific questions, we'll be glad to look into it. Otherwise, you might as well do a search.
 
Sorry, I was a little vague. It was getting late last night. I was wondering on some basic information about piezoelectrics. I conducted a google search, along with a google scholar search, and found no sites on piezoelectrics. I found sites on objects that use them, but not on the physics of piezoelectrics. Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be great. Either a web site, or just rambling on of what you know. Thanks.

I did my senior design project for THIS company. They have an extensive website, but I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for...

HERE is a short description of the science.
