Piezoelectric Wind Energy Harvesting from Self-Excited Vibration of Square Cylinder

Self-excited vibration of a square cylinder has been considered as an effective way in harvesting piezoelectric wind energy. In present work, both of the vortex-induced vibration and unstable galloping phenomenon process are investigated in a reduced velocity (Ur=U/ωn·D) range of 4≤Ur≤20 with load r...
