“…Many energy harvesting works are oriented to utilizing the Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) type due to its advantages. The PZT film coefficient is at least two times greater than the other types which helps in providing high power output [32]. As reported by Makki and Iliev, PZT has harvested power output per unit area of 9.37×10 -3 mW/mm 2 while, PVDF has harvested a lower value of 5.31×10-4mW/mm 2 [33].…”

A significant contribution of this paper is developing a half car model with a built-in piezoelectric stack to evaluate the potential of harvesting power from the car suspension system. The regenerative car suspension system is modelled mathematically using Laplace transformation and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink. Two piezoelectric stacks are installed in series with the front and rear suspension springs to maintain the performance of the original suspension system in ride quality and comfortability. Half car model is subjected under harmonic excitation with acceleration of 0.5 g and velocity of 9.17 rad/s. The harvested voltage and power are tested in both time, and frequency domain approaches. The influence of the different parameters of the piezoelectric stack (number of stack layers and area to thickness) and car suspension (sprung and unsprung stiffness and damping coefficients) are examined. Also, the effect of road amplitude unevenness is considered. The results illustrate that the maximum generated voltage and power at the excitation frequency of 1.46 Hz are 33.51 V and 56.25 mW, respectively.

“…In both these modes the electric fields, and thus the generated voltage on the electrodes, are oriented along the polarization direction 3, while external forces induce strains along one direction only. In mode 33, this is the same direction as that of the voltage (direction 3), whereas in mode 31 the strains are along the perpendicular direction 1 [ 56 ].…”

“…In this case, the attenuation is proportional to 1/ d , i.e., it is 20 dB per decade. The RF EH technology is, thus, highly distance dependent so that, compared to other ambient energy sources, the available power density of the far-field RF EH technology is significantly lower, with the expected power densities in the 0.2 nW/cm 2 –1 µW/cm 2 range [ 56 ], whereas that of the near-field technology could reach, in the best cases, tens of μW/cm 2 [ 189 ], which, compared to the above considered EH methodologies, is still ca. two orders of magnitude lower.…”

With the aim of increasing the efficiency of maintenance and fuel usage in airplanes, structural health monitoring (SHM) of critical composite structures is increasingly expected and required. The optimized usage of this concept is subject of intensive work in the framework of the EU COST Action CA18203 “Optimising Design for Inspection” (ODIN). In this context, a thorough review of a broad range of energy harvesting (EH) technologies to be potentially used as power sources for the acoustic emission and guided wave propagation sensors of the considered SHM systems, as well as for the respective data elaboration and wireless communication modules, is provided in this work. EH devices based on the usage of kinetic energy, thermal gradients, solar radiation, airflow, and other viable energy sources, proposed so far in the literature, are thus described with a critical review of the respective specific power levels, of their potential placement on airplanes, as well as the consequently necessary power management architectures. The guidelines provided for the selection of the most appropriate EH and power management technologies create the preconditions to develop a new class of autonomous sensor nodes for the in-process, non-destructive SHM of airplane components.

The main objective of this work is to build a mathematical model to evaluate the potential of harvesting power from the car suspension system. Quarter‐ and half‐car models with built‐in piezoelectric stack were modeled mathematically and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink. The piezoelectric stack was installed in series with the suspension spring to maintain the performance of the original car suspension system in ride quality and comfortability. The harvested voltage and power were tested with respect to time and frequency. From a half car model, the maximum generated voltage and power at the excitation frequency of 1.46 Hz were 33.56 V and 56.35 mW, respectively. By comparing a half‐car model with the quarter‐car model, the outcomes illustrated that the harvested voltage and power of the half‐car model were increased by 75.6% and 53.4%, respectively. Piezoelectric stack parameters (number of stack layers and area to thickness) and the car suspension parameters (sprung and unsprung stiffness, damping coefficients, and masses) were examined for half‐car model. Also, the influence of road amplitude unevenness was considered. The simulation results of the quarter‐car system were verified with the experimental test under harmonic excitation. The results exhibited good agreement with the simulation results at different excitation frequencies.
