Two-degree-of-freedom piezoelectric energy harvesting from vortex-induced vibration by Lu, De, Li, Zhiqing, Hu, Guobiao, Zhou, Bo, Yang, Yaowen, Zhang, Guiyong

“…Subsequently, a parametric study was conducted to investigate the influences of the circuit and mechanical parameters on the energy harvesting performance of the 2DOF VIVPEH. It was found that when the 2DOF VIVPEH was induced to vibrate in different lock-in regions, its optimal resistance became different. …”

Fused filament fabrication of conductive polymer on textile for wearable by Raguraman Gunasellan

“…Additionally, the research explores the correlation between fabric surface roughness (characterized by Ra values of 80 µm or greater, Rq values of 95 µm or more, or Rz values of 600 µm or above) and adhesion strength. When specific print parameters, such as a temperature of 240°C and a 110% flow rate, are combined, there is a significant improvement in adhesion between conductive TPU and fabric. …”
