Underwater thrust and power generation using flexible piezoelectric composites: an experimental investigation toward self-powered swimmer-sensor platforms (2011, background): “8 When performing an experiment to charge a battery by using the harvested energy, it is essential to check the discharge curve [65, 66] since plotting the voltage associated with charging alone [67, 68] can be misleading in respect of the amount of charge received by the battery.”
Response of uni-modal duffing-type harvesters to random forced excitations (2010, methodology): “F ]. With that, the joint PDF, P (x1 ,x 2 ,x 3 ,x 4 ,t ), of the response can be obtained by solving the linear diffusion FPK equation which can be expressed for system ( 11 ) as”
Investigation of Power Harvesting via Parametric Excitations (2009, background): “…energy harvesting is envisioned as a supplementary power source, which will provide small amounts of energy for trickle-charge applications (Sodano et al., 2005) or to power and maintain mobile devices and remote sensors installed in inaccessible locations, such as those in the human body,…”
Piezoelectric energy harvesting from broadband random vibrations (2009, methodology): “The exceptions are Sodano et al [7] who looked at random ambient vibration disturbances via strictly experimental means and Tanner et al [8] who developed a piezoceramic stack harvesting device to power a magnetorheological damper, again only experimentally.”
