Piezoresistive Effect

A piezoresistive material:

  • is one in which stress causes the electrical resistivity of the material to change;

  • provides linear relations between stress and relative resistivity changes;

  • must be used with electrical resistivity;

  • cannot be used as part of a material definition that also includes electrical conductivity; and

  • is used in coupled thermal-electrical-structural elements, which have displacement, temperatures, and electrical potential as nodal variables.
