Abstract
The piezoelectric strain-constant of dried lobster shell was found to be 10−9 ∼ 10−8 cgsesu. The piezoelectric strain-constant of demineralized apodeme was found to be as high as 4 × 10−8 cgsesu. The variation with temperature and hydration of the piThis publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
