Comprehensive Numerical Analysis of a Porous Piezoelectric Ceramic for Axial Load Energy Harvesting

In this paper, an axial-type piezoelectric energy generator with various porosities of piezoelectric ceramics is designed and analysed. A 3D finite element model is developed by using ANSYS software. The porosity of piezoelectric ceramic is varied from 0 to 80% through thickness or along the length...
