A Piezoelectric Energy Harvester with Bending–Torsion Vibration in Low-Speed Water

This paper presents a piezoelectric energy harvester using an eccentric cylinder undergoing bending–torsion vibration in low-speed water. It can harvest energy from water using vortex-induced vibration (VIV). A distributed parameter beam model with respect to the motion of the piezoelectric beam was...
