چکیده
Piezoelectric vibration-based energy harvesters consist of an electromechanical structure and electric circuitry, influencing each other. We propose a novel approach that allows finite element based system simulation nonlinear structures coupled to circuitries. In the influence circuit on is considered via vector external forces, using implicit time integration scheme. To demonstrate applicability new method active power considered. Several examples piezoelectric harvesters, connected standard or synchronized switch harvesting inductor (SSHI) circuits, showing linear mechanical behavior, are studied validate proposed against numerical results reported in literature. The advocated for consistent efficient simulations complete only one software tool.

On Mechanical Modeling of Cantilevered Piezoelectric Vibration Energy Harvesters
Cantilevered beams with piezoceramic (PZT) layers are the most commonly investigated type of vibration energy harvesters. A frequently used modeling approach is the single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) modeling of the harvester beam as it allows simple expressions for the electrical outputs. In the literature, since the base excitation on the harvester beam is assumed to be harmonic, the well known ...

The simulation results for electromagnetic energy harvesters (EMEHs) under broad band stationary Gaussian random excitations indicate the importance of both a high transformation factor and a high mechanical quality factor to achieve favourable mean power, mean square load voltage, and output spectral density. The optimum load is different for random vibrations and for sinusoidal vibration. Red...

The dynamic responses of membrane are completely dependent on Pre-tensioned forces which are applied over a boundary of arbitrary curvilinear shape. In most practical cases, the dynamic responses of membrane structures are undesirable. Whilst they can be designed as vibration-based energy harvesters. In this paper a smart flat membrane sheet (SFMS) model for vibration-based energy harvester is ...
