Performance of a Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting System for an Energy-Autonomous Instrumented Total Hip Replacement: Experimental and Numerical Evaluation

Performance of a Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting System for an Energy-Autonomous Instrumented Total Hip Replacement: Experimental and Numerical Evaluation

Instrumented implants can improve the clinical outcome of total hip replacements (THRs). To overcome the drawbacks of external energy supply and batteries, energy harvesting is a promising approach to power energy-autonomous implants. Therefore, we recently presented a new piezoelectric-based energy...
