“…Eltaher et al [ 23 ] derived the finite element equations of motion for a straight perforated cantilevered beam with a symmetrical cross section. Many scholars [ 20,24 ] studied the piezoelectric extension to analyze the piezoelectric composite beam through various finite elements and configurations in Ansys. In addition, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) always is conducted to simulate the cantilever beam vibration while working in the wind and fluid fields.…”

The present paper is devoted to conducting a comparative study on the sensing and energy harvesting performance of a 0-3 and triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS)-based piezocomposite with [Formula: see text] ( KNLNTS) material as piezoelectric inclusions and polyethylene as the matrix material. Different types of TPMS are reported in literature like Neovius, Fischer-Koch S, Schwarz CLP, Schoen Gyroid, Schoen IWP, Schwarz Primitive, etc. In the present study, Schwarz primitive TPMS is considered. Representative volume elements (RVEs) with four different volume fractions are generated and the finite element simulations are performed to compute the effective elastic and piezoelectric properties. The homogenization technique is used to calculate the effective properties. The calculated values of the effective properties are further used to calculate the sensing voltage between the electrodes and harvested power across the resistance. The effective elastic and piezoelectric properties increase with an increase in volume fraction of the piezoelectric inclusions resulting in a higher sensing voltage and power. Significant improvement in the effective elastic and piezoelectric properties of TPMS-based piezocomposite was observed. TPMS-based piezocomposite exhibited superior performance as compared to their 0-3 counterparts.

“…In practice, most piezoelectric transducers usually have a layered structure, which causes some difficulties in determining their characteristics. For actual transducers, the dependence between deflection and the applied load can be determined through numerical [9][10][11][12], analytical-numerical [12][13][14][15] or analytical methods. Currently, numerical methods are very popular.…”

The paper deals with modelling of a circular piezoelectric actuator under electrical loading. A threelayer transducer is analysed. The outer layers of the transducer are made of non-piezoelectric material. The middle layer comprises two elements -a piezoelectric disk, and a ring made of non-piezoelectric material. This design protects the electrical components of the converter against harmful external factors (e.g. hightemperature, chemically active atmosphere). For such a transducer, there is an analytical model describing its deflection as a function of the applied load. Closed-form analytical equations are important tools for predicting and optimizing the operation of devices. However, it should be remembered that analytical models often use various simplifications. Such simplification, in some situations, may cause that the deflection determined with the analytical solution may differ from the actual deflection of the transducer. Therefore, in this paper the results obtained using the analytical model, were compared with the numerical results (no simplifications were used in the numerical simulation). The tests were performed for various constructional variants of the transducer, determined by selected non-dimensional parameters. These parameters include dimensions and mechanical properties of both the piezoelectric disk and passive plates. The obtained results made it possible to determine the degree of applicability of the analytical solution. It was found that the analytical model gives correct results, when the piezoelectric disk is made of various piezoelectric materials (e.g. Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT), Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF), whereas the passive components are layers made of materials used in MEMS (micro-electro mechanical system), such as silicon, silicon nitride, and most metals. Moreover, the range of relative thicknesses of individual transducer layers was determined, for which the convergence of analytical and numerical solution is obtained.
