Energy harvesting from pavements has been a topic of extensive research in the recent past.
This domain has attracted not only the research community but also the industry and …

The internal resonance mechanism is widely used to improve the output performance of
vibration energy harvester owing to its modal interaction between modes. The …

Multi-converter piezoelectric harvesters based on mono-axial and bi-axial configurations are
proposed. The harvesters exploit two and four piezoelectric converters (PCs) and adopt an …

Vibrational energy harvesting offers a potential power supply for future intelligent wireless
sensors. In order to make vibrational energy harvesters more useful, a broad bandwidth is …

This paper presents a computational approach for the evaluation of the electro-mechanical
response of levitation based vibration energy harvesters. A detailed analysis of the relevant …

A piezoelectric converter for energy harvesting composed of a rigid ball enclosed among six
piezoelectric diaphragms arranged in a cube-shaped structure is presented. When the …

Stochastic resonance has become an important topic in the collection of environmental
vibrational energy; however, realization of sufficiently large-scale motion for effective energy …

The main objective of this work is to build a mathematical model to evaluate the potential of
harvesting power from the car suspension system. Quarter‐and half‐car models with built‐in …

The shortage and high cost of energy in developing countries of the world has led to the
search for other sources of electricity which are renewable and do not constitute to …

A significant contribution of this paper is developing a half car model with a built-in
piezoelectric stack to evaluate the potential of harvesting power from the car suspension …
