A model is developed that takes into account the finite resistivity of ferroelectric ceramics compressed by shock waves propagating in a direction perpendicular to the remanent polarization vector. This model is fit to data obtained from experiments on Pb/sub 0.98/Nb/sub 0.02/(Zr/sub 0.95/Ti/sub 0.05/)/sub 0.98/O/sub 3/ (referred to as PZT 95/5). The resistivity of this material in the stress range 1.6--3.2 GPa is about 7 x 10/sup 4/ ..cap omega.. cm.
