Optimum Piezoelectric Bending Beam Structures for Energy Harvesting using Shoe Inserts
Open accessAbstract
The small amount of power demanded by many present-day electronic devices opens up the possibility to convert part of the energy present in the environment into electrical energy, using several methods. One such method is to use piezoelectric film-bending beams inside a shoe, and use part of the mechanical energy employed during normal walking activity. This study analyzes several bending beam structures suitable for the intended application (shoe inserts and walking-type excitation) and obtains the resulting strain for each type as a function of their geometrical parameters and material properties. As a result, the optimum configuration can be selected.

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.
