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 addition, [18] developed a three degree of freedoms model for an airfoil actioned by control surfaces. These models [14,15,16,17,18] were able to predict the voltage and power responses at the flutter speed with the combination of unsteady aerodynamic loads. The airfoil model [14] was also validated against the wind tunnel test results.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] On the other hand, harvesting energy from fluid flows at low speed is desirable in many applications including the deployment of self-powered sensors or batteries in buildings, rivers, and airstreams. Several recent studies [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] have focused on the conversion of aeroelastic vibrations in airfoil sections to electrical power. Energy harvesting from vortex-induced vibrations of circular cylinders has also been investigated in a few studies.…”

ABSTRACTguidance, support and encouragement. He has been a great mentor and I have learned a lot from him, both in academic research and in personal life. He didn't only provide me the necessary infrastructure and resources to complete this project, but also gave me enough freedom and opportunities to test and implement my own ideas. He always encouraged me to think 'out of box' and allowed me to work on several other projects apart from the subject of this thesis. Prof. Priya has his own style; his dedication towards the work, his courage and conviction to take new challenges, his optimism, and the most importantly, his attachment with the students are few of the many qualities that has always inspired me and will always motivate me in future to move ahead.I would also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Prof. Walter O'Brien and Prof.Danesh Tafti for mentoring me in many academic courses and serving on my MS committee.
