Finite element analysis of vibration energy harvesting using lead-free piezoelectric materials: A comparative study

In this article, the performance of various piezoelectric materials is simulated for the unimorph cantilever-type piezoelectric energy harvester. The finite element method (FEM) is used to model the piezolaminated unimorph cantilever structure. The first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and lin...
