Electrostrictive Transduction<br />
Weinstein & Bhave, Cornell<br />
• Create <strong>for</strong>ces in a solid dielectric by applying a fixed polarization<br />
voltage (biasing point).<br />
• Theory can be treated in a manner similar to electrostatic<br />
transduction in which the air gap is filled with a dielectric<br />
• The transducer can also be the resonant body or used to put into<br />
motion a mechanical element<br />
• Materials with high-K (dielectric constant) have been used to<br />
enhance the electromechanical coupling (silicon nitride, hafnium<br />
oxide, BST, BTO, STO)
