The electroelastic effect describes the shift in resonant frequency that a resonator experiences as a result of the application of a dc electrical field. We report on experimental measurements of the electroelastic effect observed in fourteen plano-plano configuration thickness-mode langasite (La3Ga5SiO14) resonators. The orientations of the fourteen samples provide a sufficient data set to extract all eight of the third-order piezoelectric constants of this material. The role of this type of measurement in determining third-order piezoelectric constants is discussed. We compare the experimentally observed behavior to that predicted when using the langasite material constants currently available in the literature.

This paper describes an exhaustive study of the variations of the mean force sensitivity coefficients in the entire region of crystalline langasite (LGS). We also study the variation of temperature coefficients in the entire region of the crystalline LGS and its isomorphs. The computational results have been obtained from a procedure that has been successfully employed in the study of the planar and temperature stressinduced frequency shifts in thickness-mode resonators.

Because of their excellent temperature behavior, high piezoelectric coupling, low acoustic loss, and high Q-factor, langasite resonators have been the subject of recent interest for use in a variety of applications. The force-frequency effect refers to the phenomenon of frequency changes resulting from the stress applied to the resonator. A clear understanding of this effect is essential for many design applications such as force sensors and stress-compensated resonators.

Langasite resonators are of recent interest for a variety of applications because of their good temperature behavior, good piezoelectric coupling, low acoustic loss and high Q factor. The force-frequency effect describes the shift in resonant frequency a resonator experiences due to the application of a mechanical load. A clear understanding of this effect is essential for many design applications such as pressure sensors.

In this paper, we report on our study of stress-induced effects on thickness vibrations of a langasite plate. The plate is assumed to be doubly rotated, specified by angles phi and theta. The stresses are assumed to be uniform and planar.
