Piezoelectric coefficient

Piezoelectric coefficient or Piezoelectric Modulus, aka D33, quantifies the volume change when a piezoelectic material is subject to an electric field, or the polarisation on application of a stress:  d= \dfrac{P}{\sigma} where P is polarisation, and  \sigma is the stress.

There are actually many Piezoelectric coefficients: Dxy.
