Model refinements and experimental testing of highly flexible piezoelectric energy harvesters

This paper addresses limitations to existing analytical models for piezoelectric energy harvesters. The presented model is targeted at predicting behaviours of highly flexible piezoelectric devices (FPEDs) and includes high orders of substrate and piezoelectric material nonlinearity, geometric nonli...
