Piezoelectric coupled governing equations doubt

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the governing equations related to the piezoelectric effect, specifically the direct and reverse effects. The user is confused about solving two unknown variables, electric field {E} and electric displacement {D}, using a single equation for the direct effect. It is suggested that a different set of constitutive equations should be used to find strain from an electric field, which involves different tensor components. The conversation emphasizes that knowing the electric displacement allows for determining strain when an electric field is applied. Overall, clarity on the application of these equations is essential for understanding piezoelectric behavior.

Hi , can anybody make me sense of these equation on which i am striking my head for last 2 months. I am trying to understand piezoelectric effect. And in process of which i came to see so called strain based form of equations related to direct(Equation no.2) and reverse(Equation no. 1) piezoelectric effect(attached pic). Can anybody clear my doubt, as if we want to produce the direct effect(Stain to electric field) then we have to go with the 2nd equation. But in the 2nd equation we have two unknown variable matrix i.e. {E} and {D} . How we can solve two unknown variables with the help of a one equation(assuming we can't use 1st equation as it is meant for only reverse effect). Same confusion arising when i tries to make any sense out of 1st equations while following inverse effect.
Thank you a lot.

If you want to find the strain produced by an electric field then it's better to use a different set of constitutive equations. Of course, then you will need a different set of tensor components.For example there is
{S}=sD{T} +g {D}
If you apply electric field only (no mechanically induced strain) then you have
{S}=g {D}
and you can know the strain if you know the electric displacement.

From your set of equations, you can find the stress in presence of an external electric field.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
