Application of single unit impact dampers to harvest energy and suppress vibrations
In this study, ongoing investigations to apply piezoelectric materials as an energy harvester are extended. In doing so,effectiveness of single unit impact dampers is increased using piezoelectric materials. For this reason, barriers of the impact...
Higher-Order Coupled and Uncoupled Analyses of Free Edge Effect of Piezoelectric Laminates under Mechanical Loadings
In this paper, an analytical solution is presented to study the effect of electromechanical coupling on the interlaminar stresses at the free edges of piezoelectric laminated plates. The finite width laminated piezoelectric ...
Analysis of interlaminar stresses in general cross-ply laminates with distributed piezoelectric actuators
This paper represents an analytical solution to determine the interlaminar stresses of general cross-ply
laminates with piezoelectric layers as actuators under transverse mechanical loads. The three-dimensional ...
Hygro-thermo-electro-elastic response of a functionally graded piezoelectric cylinder resting on an elastic foundation subjected to non-axisymmetric loads
In this paper, the general theoretical analysis of a thick-walled cylinder made of functionally graded piezoelectric materials subjected to a non-axisymmetric hygro-thermo-electro-mechanical loading is presented. The transversely isotropic and non...
ANALYTICAL MODELING OF A PIEZOELECTRIC ENERGY HARVESTERS UNDER RANDOM BASE EXCITATION
mathematical model is then developed by obtaining the normalized differential equations governing the voltage induced in the energy harvesting circuit as well as the length of the piezoelectric material. The random vibration theory is then utilized to derive...
