Dynamic Weight

Plane PVDF-foil modules have been developed and successfully tested that generate electrical energy out of the mechanical energy of dynamic weight forces. For instance electrical energy can be generated, if people or vehicles pass such modules on a ground area. This method is based on the piezoelectric effect of stretched PVDF-foil. The energy conversion of the generator modules was investigated with regard to the remanent polarization of the PVDF material. Furthermore, the influence of the PVDF layer system was investigated on the energy conversion. The measured values are compared with values calculated analytically. It was found that a higher remanent polarization of the PVDF material lead to a better energy conversion. Even more electrical energy could be generated, if more PVDF layers were stacked above each other. If the values were normalized on the PVDF volume used in each case, the values of the electric energy were not constant. However, a maximum was observed at n = 21 layers. The measured energy values were higher than calculated values of the longitudinal piezoelectric effect. This could be caused by a simultaneous expansion of the PVDF film in a direction vertical to the direction of the mechanical load. These generator modules could be used as new energy source for emergency lighting, alarm systems, traffic sensors, etc.

Bridge Rectifier

Piezoelectric elements are commonly installed in shoe sole to make use of the piezoelectric effect due to the vibration generated by the human motion. Piezoelectric shoe is a great device that can be used to harvest energy and can be improved by adding more piezoelectric elements and providing storage to store the harvested energy. However, not many researchers focus on the analyzation of piezoelectric elements’ shape that may affect the efficiency of energy harvesting. In this paper, piezoelectric energy harvesting shoes are designed with piezoelectric elements installed inside the soles of the shoes, thereby gaining mechanical energy from user while walking and running. The mechanical energy was applied to the piezoelectric elements and converted into electrical energy. Bridge rectifier was used to convert the AC voltage output into DC voltage. The project focused on analyzation of the efficiency between round and square shaped piezoelectric elements. Different shape of the piezoelectric element produced different amount of output voltage. Square shaped piezoelectric tended to produce lesser output voltage than the round piezoelectric element. A round piezoelectric with diameter of 4.5cm produced mean output voltage up to 11.56V and square piezoelectric with size of 4.5cm x 4.5cm produced 6.12V. However, this all depended on how much pressure that was applied onto the piezoelectric elements.

Experimental research of first inverse, secondary positive piezoelectric effects are performed through the PZT-5 piezoelectric ceramics. Introduce a concept of self-sensing micro-flow injection device based on piezoelectric ceramics. Utilized the characteristic of the first inverse piezoelectric effect which can generate micro-displacement, micro-position and then micro-injection can be realized by the micro-change of piezoelectric ceramic’s volume. Self-sensing displacement in micro-injection process can be obtained by utilizing the secondary direct piezoelectric effect. The experimental data: if the external voltages which were applied to the stack are 20V and 40V, the theoretical displacement generated by the first inverse piezoelectric effect are 4μm and 8μm respectively, the actual measured values are 3.57μm and 8.12μm respectively, self-sensing displacement of secondary direct piezoelectric effect are 1.48μm and 2.53μm respectively. It proves that the theoretical and experimental device could sense the displacement of micro-injection and the integration of sensor and actuator can be achieved.

It is known that piezoelectric material shunted with external circuits can convert mechanical energy to electrical energy, which is so called piezoelectric shunt damping technology. In this paper, a piezoelectric stacks ring (PSR) is designed for vibration control of beams and rotor systems. A relative simple electromechanical model of an Euler Bernoulli beam supported by two piezoelectric stacks shunted with resonant RL circuits is established. The equation of motion of such simplified system has been derived using Hamilton’s principle. A more realistic FEA model is developed. The numerical analysis is carried out using COMSOL® and the simulation results show a significant reduction of vibration amplitude at the specific natural frequencies. Using finite element method, the influence of circuit parameters on lateral vibration control is discussed. A preliminary experiment of a prototype PSR verifies the PSR’s vibration reduction effect.

Review Current

The goal of this paper is to review current methods of energy harvesting, while focusing on piezoelectric energy harvesting. The piezoelectric energy harvesting technique is based on the materials’ property of generating an electric field when a mechanical force is applied. This phenomenon is known as the direct piezoelectric effect. Piezoelectric transducers can be of different shapes and materials, making them suitable for a multitude of applications. To optimize the use of piezoelectric devices in applications, a model is needed to observe the behavior in the time and frequency domain. In addition to different aspects of piezoelectric modeling, this paper also presents several circuits used to maximize the energy harvested.

Differences between the domains of application of classical control theory and applied cybernetics are examined. It is suggested that a unifying concept for the understanding of both simple mechanical control systems and complex social systems is that of the decision process. Simple decision systems are equated to those for which transfer functions can be specified. Complex systems demand a simulation approach. No prescriptive organisational control theory based on simulation methods yet exists but one is required and is seen to be emerging from such diverse fields as artificial intelligence and Industrial Dynamics.
