Finite element analysis of the electro-mechanical behaviors of piezocomposite bimorph energy harvesters under static and dynamic loadings
This study uses a finite element method to investigate electro-mechanical behaviors of bimorph cantilever beams composed of a steel substrate and two layers of a piezocomposite made of PZT-5H fiber/PVDF materials. The properties of the representative volume element of piezocomposites are determined by the numerical simulation based on the micromechanical homogenization method. Then, eigenfrequency and static analyses are performed, followed by a comprehensive dynamic study incorporating time-dependent analysis under sinusoidal harmonic loadings at two different excitation frequencies. A parametric study is performed to evaluate natural frequencies, mode shapes, displacement, strain, stress, electric potential, and electric field of the piezocomposite bimorph harvester for three different fiber volume fractions. The results demonstrate that increasing volume fraction leads to better electro-mechanical properties of piezocomposite bimorph harvesters, with resonance occurring at elevated frequencies. Additionally, an increased volume fraction results in reduced displacement and strain, while simultaneously amplifying the electric field and electric potential under static loadings. Dynamic loading analysis reveals that piezocomposite bimorph beams with a higher volume fraction exhibit higher electric potential and electric field, reaching equilibrium in a shorter duration. A frequency response analysis is conducted on the bimorph beam with varying cross-sections and volume fractions. The trapezoidal beam yields better electrical outputs as compared to the rectangular and triangular beams. The obtained mechanical behaviors by the present simulation are found to be in good agreement with those predicted through other researchers.
期刊介绍:
Composites Communications (Compos. Commun.) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing short communications and letters on the latest advances in composites science and technology. With a rapid review and publication process, its goal is to disseminate new knowledge promptly within the composites community. The journal welcomes manuscripts presenting creative concepts and new findings in design, state-of-the-art approaches in processing, synthesis, characterization, and mechanics modeling. In addition to traditional fiber-/particulate-reinforced engineering composites, it encourages submissions on composites with exceptional physical, mechanical, and fracture properties, as well as those with unique functions and significant application potential. This includes biomimetic and bio-inspired composites for biomedical applications, functional nano-composites for thermal management and energy applications, and composites designed for extreme service environments.
