Assessment of Impact Energy Harvesting in Composite Beams with Piezoelectric Transducers

Piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) is studied in the case of a low-velocity impact of a rigid mass on a composite beam. A methodology is outlined, encompassing modelling of the open-circuit impact response in a finite element (FE) package, formulation of a lumped parameter (LP) model for the piez...

description Piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) is studied in the case of a low-velocity impact of a rigid mass on a composite beam. A methodology is outlined, encompassing modelling of the open-circuit impact response in a finite element (FE) package, formulation of a lumped parameter (LP) model for the piezoelectric transducer connected with the harvesting circuit, and experimental verification of the impact using a custom portable configuration with impactor motion control. The subcircuit capacitor charging effect, the impactor mass and velocity on the harvesting subcircuit response, and the obtained output power are quantified. The results indicate that the current methodology can be used as a design tool for the structure and the harvesting circuit to achieve power output from composite beams with piezoelectric patches under impact conditions.
