Piezoelectric Power Generation from the Vortex-Induced Vibrations of a Semi-Cylinder Exposed to Water Flow

The aim of this work is to design a piezoelectric power generation system that extracts power from the vibration of a cantilever beam. A semi-cylinder placed in a water stream and attached to the beam is excited into vortex-induced vibrations (VIV), which triggers the piezoelectric deformation. The...
