If a piezoelectric sensor experiences hysteresis under cyclic loading, which mechanism limits output accuracy?

💡 Explanation

Hysteresis increases from domain wall pining, reducing sensor accuracy because materials do not return to their initial state. Thus, deformation lags the applied force, rather than exhibiting linear elasticity or improved charge transport from carrier mobility.
