ABSTRACT: For piezoelectric tensor, the decomposition method based upon irreducible orthogonal representation is overviewed. Besides, orthonormal tensor basis method is improved to express any third rank tensors such as piezoelectric tensor showing the piezoelectric effect of the material properties on the structures. Numerical examples for materials from different crystal symmetry classes serve to illustrate and verify the orthonormal tensor basis method. The differences and similarities are stated by comparing the methods presented in this work and the others in literature. It is also demonstrated that for hexagonal ...
