The piezo element is made by gluing piezo ceramic
elements onto metal plates, and it is excited by an oscillatory
circuit, which translates electrical energy into mechanical
energy by reversed piezoelectric effects. The mechanical energy
then makes the ceramic element elongated or contracted, which
produces sound. Its mode of vibration is shown in the figure
below.
