... of a lightweight absorbent material of high porosity. Moreover, they are active, so piezoelectric actuators in the form of thin patches are fixed to their faceplates. Therefore, the passive absorbent properties of porous core, effective at high and medium frequencies, can be combined with the active vibroacoustic...

... wind energy that is being transferred to a galloping beam. The beam has a rigid tip body with a D-shaped cross section. Piezoelectric sheets are bonded on the top and bottom surface of the beam. During galloping, vibrational motion is input to the system due to aerodynamic forces on the D-section...

...Jae Eun Kim; Yoon Young Kim Various mathematical beam models have been proposed for the efficient analysis of a piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) and carrying out parameter study but there appears no beam model suitable for a PEH of a moderate width-to-length aspect ratio with a distributed tip...

...P. Bonello; S. Rafique The modeling and analysis of base-excited piezoelectric energy harvesting beams have attracted many researchers with the aim of predicting the electrical output for a given base motion input. Despite this, it is only recently that an accurate model based on the analytical...

...A. Erturk; P. A. Tarazaga; J. R. Farmer; D. J. Inman For the past five years, cantilevered beams with piezoceramic layer(s) have been frequently used as piezoelectric energy harvesters for vibration-to-electric energy conversion. Typically, the energy harvester beam is located on a vibrating host...

...A. Erturk; D. J. Inman Cantilevered beams with piezoceramic layers have been frequently used as piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters in the past five years. The literature includes several single degree-of-freedom models, a few approximate distributed parameter models and even some incorrect...

... selection of achievable eigenvectors that minimizes the eigenvector components at concerned region by using the Rayleigh Principle. Second, the active control input is applied through an active-passive hybrid piezoelectric network. With the introduction of circuitry elements, which are much easier...
