PZT Cantilever has been widely applied in enery harvesting system due to simple structure and high electromechanical conversion efficiency. Cantilever without mass attachment has a narrow bandwidth and low efficiency. The performance of the cantilever type harvesting device can be improved by attached with multiply mass at the end of the cantilever. Simulation and experimental results show that resonant frequency is reduced with the increase of numbers of mass, and bandwidth is broadened with numbers of mass.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
