We show how the recent experimental results concerning an electromechanical coupling in smectic C* can be obtained from the macroscopic dynamic equations derived by the authors. We point out that the coupling observed is a reversible dynamic cross coupling between the change in the polarization inside the layers and velocity gradients. This type of reversible cross coupling is unique to systems which possess a pseudoscalar quantity (e.g. a helix) and does not exist in nonchiral smectic C.Nous montrons que les résultats récents concernant le couplage électromécanique des C* peuvent s'expliquer par les équations dynamiques que nous avons écrites. Nous montrons que le couplage observé est un couplage dynamique réversible entre les variations d...
