Energy harvesting, piezoelectricity, vibrationAbstract
Circular piezoelectric energy harvesters, known as buzzers, are increasingly being studied due to their mechanical versatility and low cost compared to harvesters with other geometries. This paper presents an improved one-dimensional analytical model to simulate the voltage generation obtained from an energy harvester using a buzzer-type piezoelectric material. The main objective of the paper is to analyze the influence of high accelerations on the behavior of the energy harvester. The results obtained with the linear and non-linear mathematical model are compared with experimental tests in the laboratory. The resonance frequency for maximum generation is close to 140 Hz, where tuning is achieved by designing a central mass that allows the harvesting device to be flexible.
