Camber Effects on the Power Harvesting from Piezoaeroelastic Systems

We investigate the effects of the aerodynamic loads on the performance of piezoaeroelastic energy harvesters. The harvester consists of a rigid airfoil having a pitch and plunge degrees of freedom with a piezoelectric coupling attached to the plunge degree of freedom. The Unsteady Vortex Lattice Met...
