- Abstract
- A spring-mass suspension is proposed in this paper for enhancing vibration energy harvesting performances of piezoelectric cantilevers. The suspension is inserted between the piezoelectric cantilever and the vibration base. Two key criteria are proposed for designing the present structure towards simultaneous broadband and intensive energy harvesting. On the one hand, the natural frequency of the spring-mass suspension is tuned close to that of the piezoelectric beam. On the other hand, the inertial mass of the suspension is chosen much greater than the cantilever mass. The amplification of the dynamic response over a broader frequency band of the proposed configuration is validated via vibration analyses. A prototype device in accordance with the proposed design is subsequently developed for experimental evaluations. The present structure widens the effective bandwidth from 7.6 Hz to 22.2 Hz, while increasing the maximum harvested power from 0.01436 mW/g to 0.4406 mW/g compared to the conventional cantilevered energy harvester.
