The piezoelectric effect of second order in stress or strain: its form for crystals and quasicrystals of any symmetry.
The restrictions on the coefficients describing physical effects depend on the orientation of the symmetry elements of the crystal or quasicrystal with respect to the Cartesian coordinate system employed. They are given for the piezoelectric effect of second order in stress or strain for all the orientations that can be expressed by the sequence of elements in the Hermann-Mauguin symbol of the point group. In the literature, the restrictions are usually given only for a particular orientation, which sometimes is not specified.
