Design, Simulation, and Optimization of a Frequency-Tunable Vibration Energy Harvester That Uses a Magnetorheological Elastomer

This study focuses on the design, simulation, and load power optimization for the development of a novel frequency-tunable electromagnetic vibrational energy harvester. The unique characteristic of a magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) is utilized, that the shear modulus can be varied by changing the...
