Development and Validation of an Enhanced Coupled-Field Model for PZT Cantilever Bimorph Energy Harvester

The power source with the limited life span has motivated the development of the energy harvesters that can scavenge the ambient environment energy and convert it into the electrical energy. With the coupled field characteristics of structure to electricity, piezoelectric energy harvesters are under...
