Design Study on Customised Piezoelectric Elements for Energy Harvesting in Total Hip Replacements

Energy harvesting is a promising approach to power novel instrumented implants that have passive sensory functions or actuators for therapeutic measures. We recently proposed a new piezoelectric concept for energy harvesting in total hip replacements. The mechanical implant safety and the feasibilit...
