AbstractWe investigate the performance of a piezoelectric energy harvester with nonlinearity induced by wrinkles. Linear and nonlinear regimes are detected in the electric response of the device when sweeping the intensity of the external excitation. Those regimes are related to the activation of a nonlinear mechanical response that appears when increasing the excitation amplitude. The wrinkles have been found to improve the power density and the normalized power density, in a certain noise power range.

AbstractSkin tissue is not only responsible for thermoregulation but also for protecting the human body from mechanical, bacterial, and viral insults. The mechanical properties of skin tissue may vary according to the anatomical locations in the body. However, the linear elastic and nonlinear hyperelastic mechanical properties of the skin in different anatomical regions and at different loading directions (axial and circumferential) so far have not been determined. In this study, the mechanical properties during tension of the rat abdomen and back were calculated at different loading directions using linear elastic and nonlinear hyperelastic material models. The skin samples were subjected to a series of tensile tests. The elastic modulus and maximum stress of the skin tissues were measured before the incidence of failure. The nonlinear mechanical behavior of the skin tissues was also computationally investigated through a constitutive equation. Hyperelastic strain energy density function was calibrated using the experimental data. The results revealed the anisotropic mechanical behavior of the abdomen and the isotropic mechanical response of the back skin. The highest elastic modulus was observed in the abdomen skin under the axial direction (10 MPa), while the lowest one was seen in the back skin under axial loading (5 MPa). The Mooney-Rivlin material model closely addressed the nonlinear mechanical behavior of the skin at different loading directions, which can be implemented in the future biomechanical models of skin tissue. The results might have implications not only for understanding of the isotropic and anisotropic mechanical behavior of skin tissue at different anatomical locations but also for providing more information for a diversity of disciplines, including dermatology, cosmetics industry, clinical decision making, and clinical intervention.
