TLDR
The physical process involved is not the piezoelectric effect but rather the destruction of the remanent polarization by either a randomization of domains or by a polymorphic phase transformation to a nonferroelectric State as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
Short duration electrical pulses with peak powers approaching a megawatt can be obtained by shock-wave compression of poled ferroelectric ceramics. The polarity of the electrical responses indicates that the physical process involved is not the piezoelectric effect but rather the destruction of the remanent polarization by either a randomization of domains or by a polymorphic phase transformation to a nonferroelectric State. Power supplies based on phase transformations are practical in that their electrical responses are relatively insensitive to the magnitude of the shock as long as the characteristic threshold conditions for the transformation are exceeded.

Dielectric Properties of PZT 95/5 during Shock Compression under High Electric Fields

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used different experimental configurations to better isolate the dielectric behavior of PZT 95/5 and showed that a simple relaxation model is inadequate for the case of both unshocked and shocked PZTs.

Current from a Shock‐Loaded Short‐Circuited Ferroelectric Ceramic Disk

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of stress wavefront tilt on the shape of the current pulse and its time integral in a range of impact stresses ranging from a few to several tens of kilobars and concluded that this behavior results from the combined effects of stress on remanent polarization, polarizability, and conductivity of the material enveloped by the wave.
