Abstract
The efficiency of energy conversion by piezoelectric devices depends upon the quality factor Q, and electromechanical coupling coefficient k2. Efficiency, Q, and k2 were measured for a piezoelectric cantilever and piezoelectric stack, and compared to a model of the efficiency in terms of Q and k2. The model and experiment agree very well.
