Here is the formula I recently came to derive V=P/ne, where P is pressure, n number density of charges and e is the electron charge. If it works finely let me know.

I have a piezo PZT pad (350nm thick and 20um diameter). I would like to measure the strain when the top and bottom are constrained. By constrained, I mean the bottom is fixed but the top side of the PZT is attached to a pillar which is flexible.
How do I calculate strain values in the case where the top side of PZT needs to push against some weight? I know the weight of the pillar. The sides of the piezo are free to move (no constraints). Please find the image of the structure I described.
