“…The L-shaped energy harvester offers several advantages over the traditional cantilever beam piezoelectric energy harvester, including improved stability and rigidity, a simpler configuration, lower resonance frequencies, higher output responses, and easier integration into existing systems [ 10 , 11 ]. Furthermore, the L-shaped piezoelectric energy harvester cleverly utilizes the pivot structure of the L-shaped beam to achieve higher stability and load distribution, thereby enhancing the energy conversion efficiency [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]. This design is not only theoretically appealing but also demonstrates potential superiority in practical applications.…”

In this article, an L-shaped three-dimensional (3D) braided piezoelectric composite energy harvester (BPCEH) is established, which consists of an elastic layer composed of a 3D braided composite, flanked by upper and lower layers of piezoelectric material and two tuning mass blocks. Glass fiber and epoxy resin are used to produce a 3D braided composite. This L-shaped 3D BPCEH is mechanically designable and can be adapted to different work requirements by varying the braided angle of the 3D braided composite layer. The material parameters of 3D braided composites are predicted for different braided angles by means of a representative volume element (RVE). Electro-mechanical coupled vibration equations for the L-shaped 3D BPCEH are established. The impact of braided angles on voltage and power output is discussed in this article. Simulations using finite element method are conducted to analyze the voltage and power output responses at various braided angles. In addition, the effects of the mass of mass block B and the length of the beam on the output performance of the L-shaped 3D BPCEH are analyzed.
