Electromechanical Modelling of a Piezoelectric Stack Energy Harvester

In this paper, the behavior of a piezoelectric stack generator subject to a direct mechanical force, such as that experienced by pedestrian loads, is characterized and modelled. A lumped element model is developed that describes the electrical output of piezoelectric stack generators for quasi-stati...
