Mechanical Q
Referring to both piezoelectric materials and nonpiezoelectric materials - the INVERSE of the percentage of
mechanical input energy which is converted to heat (the
balance being stored as recoverable elastic energy). A
material with Q = 100, when subjected to 1.00 Joules of
work, will lose .01 Joules to internal heating.

Stress
In a mechanical sample, the ratio of applied force to crosssectional area which bears that force.
Ultrasonic
Voltage Constant
(g)
Young's Modulus Elastic modulus of a solid sample, i.e., the ratio of stress in a
sample to applied strain. For practical purposes, Young's
modulus is equal to the inverse of the appropriate "s"
constant.
