Abstract: Current research in vibration-based energy harvesting and in microelectromechanical system technology has focused renewed attention on the vibration of beams with end masses. This paper shows that ...

Abstract: 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 ...

Abstract: 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 ...
