“…Most of the proposed mathematical models were developed for flutter-based energy harvesters of small-scale power generation application (maximum in order of tens of miliwatts). Abdelkefi stated that only Xiang et al [22] reported the study on harvesting performance of piezoelectric wing under discrete gust load based on a mathematical model.…”

An innovative hybrid mathematical/computational scheme is built to evaluate the energy harvested by a mechanical system. The governing voltage differential equations of the piezoelectric composite beam are coupled with the finite element method output. The scheme is able of evaluating various excitation forms including dynamic force and base excitation. Thus, it provides the capability to analyse a complicated structure with a more realistic loading scenario. Application to the simulation of a notional jet aircraft wingbox with a piezoelectric skin layer is shown in some detail. The results pointed out that the electrical power generated can be as much as 25.24 kW for a 14.5 m wingspan. The capabilities and robustness of the scheme are shown by comparison with results from the literature.

In this paper, a novel hybrid mathematical/ isogeometric analysis (IGA) scheme is implemented to evaluate the energy harvesting of the piezoelectric composite plate under dynamic bending. The NURBS-based IGA is applied to obtain the structural response exerted by the mechanical loading. The dynamic responses conveniently coupled with the governing voltage differential equations to estimate the energy harvested. The capabilities of the scheme are shown with the comparison against analytical and full electromechanical finite element results. As there is no need of fully coupled electromechanical element, the scheme provides cheaper computational cost and could be implemented with standard computational software. Thus, it gives great benefit for early design stage. Moreover, the robustness of the scheme is shown by the couple with high order IGA element which has been proven less prone to the shear locking phenomena in the literature. The computational results show greater accuracy on structural responses and energy estimation for a very thin plate compared to the couple with standard finite element method.
