The harvester performance was experimentally tested under low-frequency sinusoidal vibrations (6–11 Hz) and low acceleration amplitudes (0.04–0.06 g). At a room temperature of 25 °C and a constant acceleration of 0.06 g, the electromagnetic transducer generated a peak output voltage of 0.641 V and a power of 4.11 mW across an optimal load of 100 Ω, whereas the piezoelectric transducer reached a maximum voltage of 5.94 V, with a corresponding power of 1.01 mW across an optimal resistance of 35 kΩ. Temperature-dependent tests were performed over the range of -10 °C to 80 °C at a constant acceleration of 0.04 g. The results showed that both the output power and resonance frequency decreased with increasing temperature, whereas sub-room temperatures caused moderate power reduction and increased resonance frequency. The electromagnetic transducer produced a peak power of 1.82 mW, whereas the piezoelectric transducer produced 0.44 mW at 25 °C. When the temperature increased to 80 °C, the power of the electromagnetic transducer decreased by 50 %, whereas that of the piezoelectric transducer decreased by 60 %. When the temperature was lowered from 25 to −10 °C, the maximum power of the electromagnetic transducer decreased by 11 %, and 14 % for the piezoelectric transducer, respectively.

Thick-walled spherical vessels are important structural components that are used in many industries such as oil, chemical, nuclear, and others. These industries are required to operate under complex thermal and mechanical loadings where creep deformation is prevalent. The fact that continuing deformation under creep may reach a value where the assumption of small strains becomes increasingly invalid has been incorporated by using a finite-strain formulation in the mathematical framework developed to perform the creep-failure prediction times of the vessels. The mathematical analysis is conducted by employing the equilibrium, compatibility, and constitutive equations for the finite (logarithmic) strain theory together with suitable boundary conditions. The creep-failure time prediction relation is developed and solved using analytical and/or numerical methods. Parametric studies for various wall thickness ratios, creep-law exponents and pressure magnitudes are performed and presented in the form of graphs.
