An Analytical Method for Vibration Modelling of a Piezoelectric Bimorph Beam for Power Harvesting

This paper presents the development of a mathematical method for modelling a piezoelectric bimorph beam under two input base-transversal and longitudinal excitations. The piezoelectric bimorph beam model was based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam coupled with polarity-electric field for low power harvest...
