The global energy crisis and environmental pollutions caused mainly by the increased
consumption of nonrenewable energy sources prompted researchers to explore alternative …

Submerged systems are found in many engineering, biological, and medicinal applications.
For such systems, due to the particular environmental conditions and working medium, the …

We investigate the flow-energy harvesting performance of a system consisting of a wavy
cylinder and a tuned mass damper (TMD), through experiments, theoretical modeling and …

The Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) will enable new military, scientific, and commercial
applications at sea. However, powering of electronic devices in deep water still remains one …

Two-dimensional numerical simulations are used to study the coupled fluid–structure–
electric interaction of a simple model of an inverted piezoelectric flag, and to investigate the …

Environmental vibrations often exist in a broadband form. To have a robust performance
over a wide frequency range, vibration energy harvesters need to be designed to be …

Inspired by the fish tail, we propose a piezoelectric energy harvester based on flow induced
vibration with topological strong vortex by forced separation for low-velocity water flow …

Ocean wave energy is one of the huge energy sources, which easily wasted around us.
Because of low frequency of the ocean waves, less attention has been paid on vibration …

Piezoelectric fiber composites (PFC) represent an interesting subset of smart materials that
can function as sensor, actuator and energy converter. Despite their excellent potential for …

Recently, energy harvesting through periodic snapping, namely snap-through, has gained
significant attention for energy harvesting applications. In this study, the snapping dynamics …
