Note:"High-Power Piezoelectrics and Loss Mechanisms introduces the theoretical background of piezoelectrics, electromechanical phenomenology, loss mechanisms, practical materials, device designs, drive and characterization techniques, and typical applications, and looks forward to the future perspectives in this field. This book is NOT an overall review of this area, but it focuses on important and basic ideas under my development philosophy to understand how to design and develop high-power piezoelectric materials and devices. This textbook is designed for self-learning by the reader aided by the availability of: chapter essentials - summary for quick memory recovery; check points - answers are provided in the appendix; example problems - to enhance the reader's understanding with full, detailed solutions; chapter problems - for the final exam or further consideration." -- Provided by publisher.
