This lecture covers the piezoelectric effect, which relates material deformation to electrical polarization. It explains the piezoelectric matrix, piezoelectric materials, ferroelectric materials, and the sensitivity calculation of piezoelectric ceramics. The instructor discusses the manufacturing process, sensor geometry, and the response of sensors. Additionally, it explores different sensor configurations, materials comparison, and advantages/disadvantages of various piezoelectric materials.
