Evaluation of the energy harvestable from an airless tire employing radially distributed piezoelectric spokes or circumferentially distributed piezoelectric omega springs

In this work one evaluates the energy harvestable from an airless tire equipped with piezoelectric bimorphs on both lateral surfaces of the tire's elastic elements, which can be either lamellar hinged spokes or tread supporting omega springs. Electrical power is obtained due to the cyclical...
