Study on efficient piezoelectric energy harvesting with frequency self-tuning

A frequency self-tuning energy harvesting methodology is proposed to achieve efficient energy harvesting. To simulate the self-tuning process, a theoretical model of the harvester made of an aluminum beam bonded with piezoelectric patches is developed for numerical simulation. The energy harvesting...
