Piezoelectricity by C. Rosen, B. Hiremath, R. Newnham, eds. This collection of 33 major review papers examines the physics of piezoelectricity. As a book it is a guide to defining the criteria for preparing and choosing piezoelectric materials and in designing signal processing devices.
Coverage ranges from the mundane to the arcane uses of piezoelectric materials.
Apart from the thorough overview of applications, a major section explores measurements and standards. Also included is a systematic derivation of piezoelectric coefficients and the equations of state for coupling mechnical, electrical, and thermal fields. An excellent handbook for students or teachers or researchers in design engineering, materials science chemistry, metallurgy, or condensed-matter physics.
