Design, Modeling, and Simulation of Two-Piece Trapezoidal Piezoelectric Devices for Sensing and Energy Harvesting

The objective of the research is to design a high power energy harvester device through a two-piece trapezoidal geometry approach. The performance of the composite two-piece trapezoidal piezoelectric PZT-PZN polycrystalline ceramic material is simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics. Results are analyse...
