Numerical analysis for piezoelectric unimorph beam power harvesting Applications

This research investigated energy harvesting of unimorph piezoelectric beams using numerical methods. Electromechanical coupled transformation and non-orthonormalised solution methods were introduced to model the voltage, current and power FRFs. Case studies investigated the contribution of axial an...
