Piezoelectric materials are a class of materials in which structural deformation
triggers electrical potential and vice versa.
They are widely used for a variety of applications such as load cells, hearing aids,
accelerometers, pressure-sensors, MEMS (Micro Electromechanical systems) in industries
such as Acoustics, Aerospace, Automotive, Biomedical, Oil and Gas among others.

generates electric potential. Conversely, (b) when electric potential is
applied, it induces mechanical strain
