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)
