Modeling and Analysis of a Piezoelectric Energy Harvester with Varying Cross-Sectional Area
This paper reports on the modeling and on the experimental verification of electromechanically coupled beams with varying cross-sectional area for piezoelectric energy harvesting. The governing equations are formulated using the Rayleigh-Ritz method and Euler-Bernoulli assumptions. A load resistance...
