Abstract: In this research, the piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) from nonlinear vibrations of a functionally graded beam is presented. The material properties of the harvester (both the substructure and piezoelectric layers) ...

Abstract: The goal in this research was to investigate harvesting energy from a nonlinear functionally graded beam with bonded piezoelectric patch under multiple moving loads. The material of the harvester was considered to be varied ...
