The basic idea with piezoelectric crystals is that when a stress is applied to the crystal it will generate a voltage proportional to the strain on the crystal. The converse is also true, an applied voltage will create a proportional strain on the crystal.
My question is this, if a resistor is hooked up from the crystal to ground and a static mechanical load is applied to the crystal, (let's say a mass is made to rest on top of the crystal in a gravitational field) and I hook up an oscilloscope or voltmeter across the resistor. How will the voltage behave? My intuition says it would decay to zero. Intuitively from that point i am under the impression that the crystal would elastically deform. As the elaso-electrical energy has been converted to heat.
Anyone actually know what would happen or where I am intuitively incorrect?

I could also see that it may be that the crystal continues to deform as current passes to ground.

The Feel when the way to free energy is putting a heavy rock on top of a quartz crystal.

Clearly the gravitaional field pulling the mass onto the crystal will gradually diminish as the electricity is used, until the mass becomes weightless.
