“…To improve energy-harvesting efficiency, Zhang et al 252 paid attention to the coupling effect of the periodic acceleration change by gravity and the random vibration from the road surface. It is known that the dynamic responses of a bistable system can be significantly enhanced with a certain probability by adding noise to a weak periodic excitation, a phenomenon known as ''stochastic resonance.''…”

Energy harvesting holds great potential to achieve long-lifespan self-powered operations of wireless sensor networks, wearable devices, and medical implants, and thus has attracted substantial interest from both academia and industry. This paper presents a comprehensive review of piezoelectric energyharvesting techniques developed in the last decade. The piezoelectric effect has been widely adopted to convert mechanical energy to electricity, due to its high energy conversion efficiency, ease of implementation, and miniaturization. From the viewpoint of applications, we are most concerned about whether an energy harvester can generate sufficient power under a variable excitation. Therefore, here we concentrate on methodologies leading to high power output and broad operational bandwidth. Different designs, nonlinear methods, optimization techniques, and harvesting materials are reviewed and discussed in depth. Furthermore, we identify four promising applications: shoes, pacemakers, tire pressure monitoring systems, and bridge and building monitoring. We review new high-performance energy harvesters proposed for each application.

With the prospect of autonomous driving on roads in near future, it is paramount to make the vehicles safe on any driving and road condition. This is only possible by additional sensors to make up for the driver's cognitive and sensory system. Measuring road condition and tire forces especially in autonomous vehicles are vital in their safety, reliability, and public confidence in automated driving. Real time measurement of road condition and tire forces in buses and trucks can significantly improve the safety of road transportation system, and in miming/construction and off-road vehicles can improve performance, tire life, and reduce operational costs.There are three particular branches of research in the area of tire condition monitoring systems (TCMS) including estimation, sensing, and power harvesting. The main focus of this review article would be on progress in estimation techniques, energy harvesting, and also sensing approaches for TCMS based on piezoelectric, electromagnetic, and triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). Indeed, the fusion of these three areas in a singular package leads to designing future intelligent tires. The implementation of intelligent tires is highly advantageous for reduction of disastrous accidents,CO 2 , and noise emissions, and also fuel consumption. Figure 1 depicts an intelligent tire with its basic parts, its crucial applications, and advantages. In Figure 1, NGs, PEGs, and EMGs refer to nanogenerators, piezoelectric nanogenerators, and electromagnetic generators, respectively.Advances in applications of sensor technologies, sensor fusion, and cooperative estimation in intelligent transportation systems facilitate having reliable tire forces. Consequently, developing a flexible estimation structure to operate the available sensor data in production vehicles is a preeminent objective of the car manufacturers. In this direction, reliable estimation of tire forces at a reasonable cost is necessary for proper functioning of active safety systems in current vehicles. Longitudinal, lateral, and vertical tire forces make major contributions to velocity estimation, [3] traction and stability control, [4,5] and obstacle avoidance systems. [6,7] This article provides a comprehensive review on intelligent tire and TCMS. The first part of the article describes tire models, techniques for tire force, and tire-road friction The quest to utilize intelligent tires has prompted substantial multidisciplinary research including vehicle dynamics, control, estimation, energy harvesting, and even nanotechnology. This review article presents the progress in the area of tire condition monitoring systems (TCMS) and intelligent tires using devices fabricated based on piezoelectric, electromagnetic, and triboelectric effects. Three main branches of the research in this area are presented, including estimation techniques, sensing, and energy harvesting approaches. The authors delineate the importance of TCMS for vehicle active safety systems, its importance for transportation safety, and also its remarka...

An integrated multi-source energy harvester based on vibration and magnetic field energy AIP Advances 8, 056623 (2018) This paper proposes a rotational energy harvester using a piezoelectric bistable buckled beam to harvest low-speed rotational energy. The proposed harvester consists of a piezoelectric buckled beam with a center magnet, and a rotary magnet pair with opposite magnetic poles mounted on a revolving host. The magnetic plucking is used to harvest the angular kinetic energy of the host. The nonlinear snap-through mechanism is utilized to improve the vibration displacement and output voltage of the piezoelectric layer over a wide rotation frequency range. Theoretical simulation and experimental results show that the proposed energy harvester can yield a stable average output power ranging between 6.91-48.01 µW over a rotation frequency range of 1-14 Hz across a resistance load of 110 kΩ. Furthermore, dual attraction magnets were employed to overcome the suppression phenomenon at higher frequencies, which yields a broadband and flat frequency response over 6-14 Hz with the output power reaching 42.
