Simply-supported multi-layered beams for energy harvesting

This paper develops an analytical model for predicting the performance of simply-supported multi-layered piezoelectric vibrating energy harvesters. The model includes the effects of material and geometric nonlinearities, as well as axial pre-tension/compression, and is validated against experimental...
