Characterization of different beam shapes for piezoelectric energy harvesting
Open accessAbstract
This paper deals with the analysis of different beam shapes for piezoelectric energy harvesters. The theory is based on the well-established Rayleigh–Ritz method for piezoelectric compound structures. It is validated by experiments with triangular-shaped and rectangular-shaped beams. It turns out that triangular-shaped beams are more effective than rectangular-shaped ones in terms of curvature homogeneity independent of the proof mass. This effect is opposed by the adverse mass distribution and the increased stiffness of triangular-shaped beams. Therefore, the overall efficiency is only weakly influenced by the beam shape. Nevertheless triangular-shaped beams drastically outperform rectangular ones in terms of tolerable excitation amplitude and maximum output power.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
