Snap-Through Buckling Mechanism for Frequency-up Conversion in Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting
This paper describes a piezoelectric energy harvester employing a snap-through buckling (STB) mechanism for frequency-up conversion (FuC). The harvester consists of two main components: a bistable mechanical structure and one piezoelectric cantilever beam. The device is designed by means of analytic...
