Simultaneous Energy Harvesting and Vibration Control via Piezoelectric Materials

Simultaneous Energy Harvesting and Vibration Control via Piezoelectric Materials

This work examines a novel concept and design of simultaneous energy harvesting and vibration control on the same host structure. The motivating application is a multifunctional composite sandwich wing spar for a small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with the goal of providing self-contained gust alle...
