Polyvinylidene Fluoride for Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting

Author: Rushal Parik

Abstract: The creation of a new framework has been prompted by recent developments in the field of distributed sensors/actuators. The current technology makes use of the thermal mechanical properties of piezoelectric materials, which exhibit unique properties under stress and when exposed to electricity. Vibrations are the primary cause of structural cyclic failure. This mechanical device will help to mitigate this. The aim of this research is to determine the damping characteristics of piezoelectric members as well as the degree of reduction. This damping is made of various materials since it is directly proportional to the system's natural frequency. As a consequence, the obtained governing equations become a multi-physics problem involving mechanical stress-strain combined with piezoelectric electromagnetic properties.
