contents Quartz tuning forks, functioning as electrically driven piezoelectric resonators, have long served as exceptionally stable and widely adopted timing references in diverse domains of research and industry. Yet, electrically measured resonance spectra often exhibit robust features that remain unexplained within existing theoretical descriptions. Here we develop a unified continuum electroelastic framework that combines piezoelectric electrodynamics, variational structural dynamics, and symmetry-selected electromechanical observability. Such a first-principles theory shows quantitative agreement with experimental results, which demonstrates electrical observability emerges not just from the underlying mechanical eigenmodes alone. Our results provide a unified framework for electrically driven piezoelectric resonators as well as a rigorous basis for precision electromechanical characterization.
