چکیده
Abstract In order to scavenge the energy of ambient vibrations, bistable vibration harvesters constitute a promising solution due their large frequency bandwidth. Because complex dynamics, simple models that easily explain and predict behavior such are missing from literature. To tackle this issue, paper derives analytical closed-form characteristics (e.g. power-frequency response, displacement cut-off interwell motion) by mean truncated harmonic balance methods. Measurements on piezoelectric harvester illustrate proposed allow prediction mechanical harvested power, with relative error below 10%. From these models, influences various parameters as inertial mass, acceleration amplitude, electromechanical coupling, resistive load, derived, analyzed discussed. The analysis give an intuitive understanding dynamics harvesters, can be exploited for design optimization.

متن کاملOn 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 ...
متن کاملSmart Flat Membrane Sheet Vibration-Based Energy Harvesters
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 ...

The performance of piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters was studied as a function of environment temperature. The devices fabricated by soft or hard PZTs were used to investigate the effect of material parameters on the thermal degradation of the devices. PZT MEMS device was also prepared and compared with the bulk devices to investigate scaling effect on the thermal degradation. All devic...
متن کاملAnalytical models for bistable cylindrical shells
Thin cylindrical shell structures can show interesting bistable behaviour. If made unstressed from isotropic materials they are only stable in the initial configuration, but if made from fibre-reinforced composites they may also have a second, stable configuration. If the layup of the composite is antisymmetric, this alternative stable configuration forms a tight coil; if the layup is symmetric...
