Shear flow induced voltages (mechano-electrical responses) were detected and analyzed in two planar S*C liquid crystal samples. Frequency spectra, temperature and shear rate dependences were measured. Resonances observed in the frequency spectra are in accordance with the resonances were found in the electromechanical responses of these materials. The origin of the mechano-electrical effect is interpreted in the frame of shear flow alignment mechanism.
