Compare Piezoelectric Aeroelastic Energy Harvesting by Hassan Elahi, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Piezoelectric Aeroelastic Energy Harvestingexplains the design and implementation of piezoelectric energy harvesting devices based on fluid-structure interaction. There is currently an increase in demand for low power electronic instruments in a range of settings, and recent advances have driven their energy consumption downwards. As a result, the possibility to extract energy from an operational environment is of growing significance to industry and academic research globally. This book solves problems related to the integration of smart structures with the aeroelastic system, addresses the importance of the aerodynamic model on accurate prediction of the performance of the energy harvester, describes the overall effect of the piezoelectric patch on the dynamics of the system, and explains different mechanisms for harvesting energy via fluid-structure interaction. This wealth of innovative technical information is supported by introductory chapters on piezoelectric materials, energy harvesting and circuits, and fluid structure interaction, opening this interdisciplinary topic up for readers with a range of backgrounds. Provides new designs of piezoelectric energy harvesters for fluid-structure interactionExplains how to correctly model aerodynamics for effective aeroelastic energy harvestingNumerical examples allow the reader to practice the design, modeling and implementation of piezoelectric energy harvesting devices | Piezoelectric Aeroelastic Energy Harvesting by Hassan Elahi, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
