Mechanical vibrational energy, which is provided by continuous or discontinuous motion, is
an infinite source of energy that may be found anywhere. This source may be utilized to …

This study proposes a novel shape optimization methodology based on evolutionary
algorithms to maximize the harvesting energy from piezoelectric energy harvester stimulated …

The conventional micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) energy harvesters can only
generate voltage disadvantageously in a narrow bandwidth at higher frequencies. In this …

Low-power electronic applications are normally powered by batteries, which have to deal
with stringent lifetime and size constraints. To enhance operational autonomy, energy …

Increased consumption of non-renewable energy sources, such as batteries, have led to
increased environmental pollution and critical energy crises. Harvesting energy from …

Although lots of efforts have been made to produce the optimal piezoelectric MEMS vibration
energy harvesters in the past decade, the state-of-the-art study is still dependent on the …

Vibration-based energy-harvesting (VEH) technology is a viable alternative power source
that addresses the issue of battery capacity constraints in portable electronic devices. A …

In embedded systems that necessarily require a steady source of power and (or) attaches to
a sensor (s), there are opportunities to mix small batteries to supply such power. The aim of …

Research utilizing piezoelectric fiber composites to power network nodes or micro-sensors
by capturing energy from the surrounding environment is becoming a hot spot, and the …

In the present paper, guided four beam (G4B) piezoelectric transducers with enhanced
sensitivities have been designed. Based on the suggested G4B structures, piezoelectric …
