In this study, the Poisson effect on resonant frequency behaviors of the unconstrained piezoelectric patch is investigated. The electromechanical impedance models for the un-bonded patch are derived from the two existing bonded patch models and numerical analysis for a given piezoelectric material is performed. From the analysis, it is found that the Poisson effect is not important as long as the electromechanical impedance model is used to predict the locations of resonant frequencies. However, Poisson effect should be considered when predicting the location of the largest resonant frequency of the patch since the amplitude responses are different with the model used.
