Dynamic Modeling and Performance Analysis of Complex Nonlinear Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Systems based on Timoshenko Beam Theory

This paper establishes a coupled, electromechanical nonlinear model with formulation for a complex piezoelectric energy harvester using Hamilton’s principle based on both Timoshenko and Euler-Bernoulli beam theories. The coupled nonlinear governing equations are derived and it in...
