Elastic Constants of Quartz,

Abstract

The formalism describing the thickness vibrations of anisotropic piezoelectric infinite plates is reviewed. The mathematical treatment is specialized to crystallographically doubly-rotated quartz. Explicit expressions for the piezoelectrically 'stiffened' elastic constants are derived. The validity of currently accepted elastic constant values is discussed. It is concluded that there is a need to redetermine the constants and their temperature coefficients on a geometrically consistent sample set using piezoelectric excitation. (Author)
