Investigation of a nonlinear piezoelectric energy harvester with advanced electric circuits with the finite element method

Abstract In this contribution, a system simulation method based on the finite element method (FEM) is applied to simulate a strongly coupled bimorph piezoelectric vibration-based energy harvester (PVEH) with various nonlinear, non-ideal and active circuits: The standard circuit, the synchronized swi...
