Abstract
Energy harvesting from piezolaminated panels has been greatly explored by researchers in past few decades. Delamination is a very common mode of failure in piezolaminated composites and affects the vibration response of the structure. In the present study, the effect of delamination on the Constant and Variable stiffness laminate energy harvester is studied. The energy harvesting characteristics like the voltage, power, and motion frequency response functions are studied. A nine-noded isoparametric element is used with first-order shear deformation theory-based formulation for the analysis of delaminated energy harvester. The continuity of displacement and rotational variables at the delamination fronts is achieved by the point continuity method. The effect of fiber path on the Variable stiffness delaminated harvester is studied and the variations of voltage, power and relative motion FRFs are plotted for different fiber paths. The effect of the location of delamination on different FRFs is also studied. The motion FRFs can be useful in detection of location of delamination FRFs. Parametric study of different geometric and boundary conditions is performed. The current study aims to present a benchmark study on the effect of delamination on different energy harvesting characteristics of the piezolaminated plate and shell constant and variable stiffness panels.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
