A new electromechanical effect has been found in planar oriented S* C liquid crystals under the influence of an applied alternating electric field. Apart from the well-known electrooptical effects a mechanical vibration has been observed in a direction parallel to the smectic layers and perpendicular to the electric field.Un nouvel effet électromécanique a été trouvé dans des cristaux liquides S*C orientés planairement, sous l'influence d'un champ électrique alternatif appliqué. En plus du phénomène électrooptique bien connu, des vibrations mécaniques ont été observées dans la direction parallèle aux couches smectiques et perpendiculaire au champ électrique
