Transducer
Device which converts one physical quantity or

condition to other Transform values of physical variables into equivalent electrical signals Converts a signal from one form to another form Device which converts MECHANICAL FORE into a electrical signal

Piezoelectric effect
A piezoelectric material is one in which an electric

potential appears across certain surfaces of a crystal if the dimensions of crystal are changed by the application of mechanical force. This potential is produced by displacement of charges. This effect is known as PIEZO-ELECTRIC EFFECT.

 Elements exhibiting piezoelectric qualities are called

ELECTRO-RESISTIVE elements Piezoelectric materials are divided into two categories Natural group (Quartz and Rochelle salt ) Synthetic group (lithium sulphate , ethylene diamine tartarate) Mode of operation of piezoelectric crystals Thickness shear Face shear Thickness expansion Transverse expansion

Piezoelectric transducer
A force applied to a

piezoelectric crystal between two electrodes produces a stress and corresponding deformation in crystal. Deformation produces potential difference at crystal surface

 The stress of the crystal produced an output voltage:

E=gtp
Where, t is crystal thickness (m) P is impressed force (n/m2) G is voltage sensitivity g=d/ Piezoelectric crystals used as pressure transducers for dynamic measurement. The desirable properties expected out of a piezoelectric materials are, stability, high output, insensitivity to temperature variations and also the ability to form into a usable component.
