To power the microelectronics by harvesting the environment vibration energy becomes a popular technology. The piezoelectric energy harvesters are very promising because of their high efficiency. In order to protect the harvesting elements from collision, the safety working space of the harvesting structure should be taken into account of the output power-density. The real output power-density is introduced, which considers both piezoelectric body and safety working space. A power harvesting system consists of cross-distributing bimorphs with high real power-density is developed. The structure and working principle are introduced. The differences of working space requirement between the cross-distributing harvester and the traditional one are analyzed. The numerical result shows that the cross-distributing method can greatly improve the real power-density of energy harvesting system.","PeriodicalId":285701,"journal":{"name":"2011 Symposium on Piezoelectricity, Acoustic Waves and Device Applications (SPAWDA)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126818118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The acoustic radiation force, acoustic viscous force and acoustic streaming are excluded from the possible driving force by measuring and comparing the revolution speed of particle cluster in the normal environment of 1 atm and 25°C and in a glass vessel of 0.04 atm and 25°C.

The proposed algorithm includes a modified treatment of quadrature rule for the singular kernel in the fundamental solution of Helmholtz equation, which enables a more accurate evaluation of the simulated total field.

The finite element method is applied to solve the temperature distribution in the ultrasonic motors. The radiation factor for heat dissipating is also taken into account in order to use much more accurate boundary conditions for simulation. The calculated result agrees with the experimental results basically, which indicates that the analysis method in this paper is valid.

It is a crucial challenge to extract vibration energy, which is always wasted, to convert to useful electric energy. In this study, the concept of energy harvesting based on a circular ring laminated with a piezoelectric patch is established to achieve this purpose. The electrical device is assumed to be an equivalent resistance in the close-loop circuit as a simplified energy harvesting system. Due to the direct piezoelectric effect, the electromechanical coupling mechanism of the energy harvesting system is analyzed. Then, the electric power on the resistance is obtained. Case studies with respect to different system parameters, such as the equivalent resistance, excitation frequency, and the ring size, are conducted to optimize the modal power. Results show that the maximal modal power output is related to the equivalent resistance, the excitation frequency, as well as the ring radius. The optimal modal parameters are evaluated to maximize the energy harvesting effectiveness and provide a design guideline of ring-type energy harvesters for practical applications.","PeriodicalId":285701,"journal":{"name":"2011 Symposium on Piezoelectricity, Acoustic Waves and Device Applications (SPAWDA)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115151265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
