Keywords: energy harvesting, mechanical harvesters, piezoelectric materials, smart structures, composite structures.

Summary

In this paper a smart cantilever beam is used for energy harvesting. The mechanical model of the composite smart structure with bonded piezoelectric materials is tested in order to investigate the maximum amount of energy that can be produced. The testing procedure is done using modal analysis tools with respect to the critical points of the structure. The amount of energy that can be produced is estimated using structural dynamics. The actual amount that can be harvested depends on the available technology.
