“…These effects have been observed in a variety of applications (Aurelle et al, 1995;Chong et al, 2004;Meyer et al, 2008;Nosek et al, 2008) and were the subject of a quantification attempt through the establishment of a dependence of equivalent electric components on the strain level (Albareda et al, 2000(Albareda et al, , 2007Blacknurn and Cain, 2007;Nitescu et al, 2007Nitescu et al, , 2008Perez and Albareda, 2004;Priya and Viehland, 2001). Several phenomena appear, e.g., resonant frequency shifts (and the associated dependence of the effective pseudolinear constants on the excitation level) and jump phenomena (which may be seen as mechanical instabilities).…”
