An Improved Lumped Parameter Model for a Piezoelectric Energy Harvester in Transverse Vibration

An improved lumped parameter model (ILPM) is proposed which predicts the output characteristics of a piezoelectric vibration energy harvester (PVEH). A correction factor is derived for improving the precisions of lumped parameter models for transverse vibration, by considering the dynamic mode shape...
