On the Efficiency of a Piezoelectric Energy Harvester under Combined Aeroelastic and Base Excitation

A flutter-type, nonlinear piezoelectric energy harvester was tested in various combinations of aerodynamic and harmonic base excitation to study its power output and efficiency. The commercial polyvinylidene fluoride film transducer LDT1-028K was used in 33 excitation mode. The aerodynamic excitatio...
