This lecture covers the fundamentals of piezoelectric sensors, including the piezoelectric effect, mechanical and electrical quantities, operating modes, conditioning, force and acceleration sensors, and applications. It explains the polarization of crystal dielectrics under mechanical constraints, materials used, and the equations governing sensor and actuator modes.
