High power output of L-shape PZT power generator working in bending-shear mode
Basari, A.A1, Hashimoto, S2.
This paper proposes a new L-shape PZT vibration
power generator designed to generate electrical power when
working in bending-shear mode. The L-shape structure can
utilize the linear motion of vibration to generate torsion force
on the PZT device attached to the structure for energy
generation in both bending and shear motions. At first, a
simulation study for evaluating the structure’s stress and
natural frequency was conducted using Solidworks software.
The result shows that the first natural frequency of the
structure was at 21 Hz, and it was almost uniformly distributed
in terms of distribution of the stress. Next, an experimental
analysis was conducted to evaluate the electrical power
generation at the first mode of the natural frequency. Lastly,
the performance of the proposed power generator was
compared to the typical structure of cantilever PZT power
generator. The results show that the proposed device was able
to produce higher electrical power than the typical cantilever
of PZT devices.
