| All Constitutive Forms |
 |
| The four possible forms for piezoelectric constitutive equations are shown below. The names for each of the forms is arbitrary; they were taken from the two dependent variables on the left-hand-side of each equation. Note that the Voltage and Electric Field variables are related via a gradient. |
| Strain-Charge Form: | Stress-Charge Form: | ||

| Strain-Voltage Form: | Stress-Voltage Form: | ||
