..., 2013. Assoc. Editor: Brian P. Mann. 21 01 2013 17 10 2013 The fundamental limits of cantilevered piezoelectric energy harvesters have not been well established. As with any other power generation technology, it is critical to establish the limits of power output and efficiency...

...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...

...Yabin Liao; Henry A. Sodano This paper studies the piezoelectric damping of resistively shunted beams induced by the conversion of the vibration energy into electrical energy that is dissipated in the resistor through Joule heating. Significant contributions have been made in the modeling...
