Design and analysis of a broadband three-beam impact piezoelectric energy harvester for low-frequency rotational motion

Xiaobo Rui et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a three-beam impact energy harvester (TIEH) to enhance energy harvesting efficiency for low-frequency rotational motion. By designing different functions and structures for each beam, the TIEH achieves excellent performance. In addition, by designing appropriate centrifugal force, a softening or hardening effect can be obtained to adapt to different application scenarios.

Multi-dimensional constrained energy optimization of a piezoelectric harvester for E-gadgets

Lucas Q. Machado et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the design optimization process of an energy harvesting device that utilizes the ''rocking'' motion of an e-gadget to scavenge energy. The plucking mechanism, inspired by frequency up-conversion technique, provides initial displacement to excite piezoelectric beams and increase total excitations. The device, designed with a multidimensional surrogate optimization algorithm, aims to maximize performance while considering geometrical features and constrained operating environment.
