Topological optimization of a variable cross-section cantilever-based piezoelectric wind energy harvester

Wind energy is a typical foreseeable renewable energy source. This study constructs and optimizes a variable cross-section cantilever-based piezoelectric energy harvester for low-speed wind energy harvesting. The Galerkin approach is usually used to discretize the continuum model and then get the or...
