Summary
This chapter is focused on the concepts of mechanical and thermal transduction related to the change of conductance and polarization in materials. Therefore, after an introduction on basic concepts, the transduction processes of piezoresistivity, piezoelectricity, and temperature effects on resistance are discussed. Finally, examples of applications of resistance sensors are given, focusing on some techniques to reduce errors due to influence variables.
