12. As follows from the IEEE Standard on Piezoelectricity 176-1987 (IEEE, New York, NY, 1988), different techniques for measuring the piezoelectric coefficients are capable of reasonable accuracy, a few percent or less under optimum conditions. According to the European Standard EN 50324-2:2002 Piezoelectric Properties of Ceramic Materials and Components - Part 2: Methods of Measurement - Low Power (CENELEC, Brussels, 2002), the accuracy of the calculation of the complete set of material coefficients depends on material variability and measuring accuracy. In our study we assume that the consistency takes place as electromechanical constants from Eqs. (1)-(4) obey constitutive formulas for the piezoelectric medium (see Ref.) with accuracy to 5.
