Which risk increases when a piezoelectric crystal in a high-frequency accelerometer experiences excessive mechanical stress?

💡 Explanation

Crystal lattice dislocations reduce sensitivity in the accelerometer because applied stress causes the mechanism of plastic deformation. This introduces permanent imperfections, therefore signal output is decreased rather than increased noise, aliasing, or damping.
