A methodology for low-speed broadband rotational energy harvesting using piezoelectric transduction and frequency up-conversion (2017, background): “harvesters, most have been resonant narrowband devices, often operating at high frequency (100’s of Hz to kHz) [32, 33] and therefore are not suitable to practical low-frequency broadband applications.”
Modeling and experimental verification of low-frequency MEMS energy harvesting from ambient vibrations (2011, background): “The model developed in this work differs from previous research by including a trapezoidal beam shape and accounting for the rotational inertia of the proof mass, rather than treating it as a point mass as has been done in another work [16].”
Piezoelectric energy harvesting from concurrent vortex-induced vibrations and base excitations (2014, methodology): “For the same purpose, different techniques have been employed, such as beam geometry [10,11], multimodal systems [12,13], magnetic coupling [14–16], and bistable configurations [17–19].”
Vibration energy scavenging via piezoelectric bimorphs of optimized shapes (2010, background): “Important contributions relating to the design of optimized piezoelectric vibration scavenging devices were identified in literature (Priya and Inman 2009; Erturk and Inman 2008, 2009; Goldschmidtboeing and Woias 2008; Guyomar et al. 2005; Mateu and Moll 2005; Roundy and Wright 2004; Roundy et al. 2”
A review on energy harvesting approaches for renewable energies from ambient vibrations and acoustic waves using piezoelectricity (2017, background): “Geometrical configuration also plays an important role in generating the power output from a cantilever beam harvester [63, 64].”
Beam Shape Optimization for Power Harvesting (2010, methodology): “This has been previously studied by Goldschmidtboeing and Woias (2008) and by Paquin and St-Amant (2009).”
Design and performance of variable-shaped piezoelectric energy harvesters (2014, background): “…and mode shapes For energy harvesting applications, when researchers calculate the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of any shape of the beam, they approximate them with the ones corresponding to the rectangular shape (Benasciutti et al., 2010; Goldschmidtboeing and Woias, 2008; Mateu and Moll, 2005).”
Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Solutions (2014, background): “Therefore, alternative mechanical structures were investigated in order to prevent overstrain [7,47,81,82].”
