Energy harvesting from wind-induced vibration energy using piezoelectric materials has
received great attention because of the self-powered demand for wireless sensor networks …

The fluid–structure--sound interaction in reducing the flow-induced noise of a circular
cylinder with a back flexible splitter plate is investigated experimentally. The rigid splitter …

Harvesting energy from the ambient vibration to replace the conventional electrochemical
batteries has gained considerable interest. Different from the most existing flow-induced …

A quarter of a century ago, following a series of investigations with his colleagues, Makita
published a paper (Makita 1991 Fluid Dyn. Res. 8, 53–64) in which the production of high …

Vibration energy harvesting has attracted considerable attention because of its application
prospects for charging or powering micro-electro-mechanical system. Abundant hydrokinetic …

The unsteady response of finite-length rigid circular cylinders with spanwise free-ends
undergoing vortex-induced vibration (VIV) has been experimentally investigated in a large …

Even though it is omnipresent in nature, there has not been much research in the literature
involving turbulence as an energy source for piezoelectric fluidic harvesters. In the present …

The centerline streamwise and cross-sectional (x/D h= 0.425) turbulence characteristics of a
2D planar space-filling square-fractal-grid (SFG) composed of self-similar patterns …

Turbulent flows carry mechanical energy distributed over a range of temporal and spatial
scales and their interaction with a thin immersed piezoelectric beam results in a strain field …

Turbulence-induced vibration, particularly one generated by a fractal grid, has not been
studied in much detail in the literature. This study focuses on the interaction of two side-by …
