Nonlinear piezoelectricity in electroelastic energy harvesters: Modeling and experimental identification
(Journal of Applied Physics, 2010-10-01)We propose and experimentally validate a first-principles based model for the nonlinear piezoelectric response of an electroelastic energy harvester. The analysis herein highlights the importance of modeling inherent ... -
On the nonlinear electromagnetic coupling between a coil and an oscillating magnet
(Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 2010-07-16)The electromagnetic induction of voltage across a coil due to the motion of a magnet is among the fundamental problems of physics, and it has a broad range of practical applications. While Maxwell's equations exactly describe ... -
Resonant manifestation of intrinsic nonlinearity within electroelastic micropower generators
(Applied Physics Letters, 2010-12-20)This letter investigates the nonlinear response of a bimorph energy harvester comprised of lead zirconate titanate (PZT-5A) laminates. For near resonant excitations, we demonstrate significant intrinsic nonlinear behavior ...
