Broadband and tunable PZT energy harvesting utilizing local nonlinearity and tip mass effects

In this paper, a broadband piezoelectric energy harvester with an applied restoring force is studied. The restoring force is modeled as a spring in the boundary conditions of the system. The system is composed of a clamped-free beam with a tip mass which is supported by a spring at the free end. A p...
