In this article, a novel electro-mechanical energy conversion model of power harvesting from the vibration-induced the piezoelectric stator of the traveling wave rotary ultrasonic motor was proposed. Based on the curvature basis approach, the relationship between the deduced voltage and the mechanical stain induced by piezoelectric polarization was formulated. In addition to the relationships between the maximum induced voltages at the resonance frequency, the conversion energy density and the dimensions of the piezoelectric stator were also derived. The analytical model shows that the vibration-induced voltage is proportional to the exciting electrical voltage magnitude and square of height of the piezoelectric ceramic (PZT) but is inversely proportional to the permittivity of PZT and the damping coefficient of the stator. Some simulations and experimental results demonstrate that the maximum output voltage coincides with the energy conversion analytical model.

Based on the conventional structure of traveling wave ultrasonic motor, a rotary ultrasonic motor with double-sided staggered teeth was proposed. Both sides of the stator could be used to actuate the rotors to rotate and output torque. Moreover, the staggered teeth in the stator could be dedicated to accommodating the piezoelectric ceramic chips. Under the excitation of two alternating voltages with a 90° phase difference, a traveling wave could be generated in the ring-like stator. Then, a rotary motion could be realized by means of the friction between the rotors and the driving teeth of the stator. The finite element method was adopted to analyze the motion trajectories of the driving tips. Moreover, the experimental results showed that the load-free maximum speed and maximum output torque of the prototype were 99 rpm and 0.19 N·m at a voltage of 150 Vp with a frequency of 28.25 kHz.

The proposed paper addresses the problem of vibration-to-electric energy conversion using giant magnetostrictive material — TERFENOL-D. Both theoretical and experimental results of the study of performance of magnetostrictive transducer which was built at Chalmers University of Technology are presented. The mathematical models have been developed for modeling of magnetostrictive transducer based on constitutive equations of magnetoelastic behavior of TERFENOL-D rod and standard formulae of electromagnetism for induced voltage and current in the pick-up coil due to variation of magnetic field. The developed models are used to evaluate induced voltage and electrical power output for displacement driven and as well as force driven transducers. Several experiments using test rig generating periodic excitations with frequency up to 1000 Hz have been conducted for newly developed physical prototype of transducer having TERFENOL-D rod with 50 mm in length and 15 mm in diameter as active material. The validity of the transducer model is illustrated by comparison simulation data with experiment. The obtained results of the study the vibration-to-electric energy conversion using TERFENOL-D have confirmed the potential of using giant magnetostrictive materials for power harvesting from vibration.

The impulse water turbine is a promising energy conversion device that can be used as mechanical power or a micro hydro generator, and its application can effectively ease the current energy crisis. This paper aims to clarify the mechanism of liquid acting on runner blades, the hydraulic performance, and energy conversion characteristics in the runner domain of an impulse water turbine with a splitter blade by using experimental tests and numerical simulations. The runner was divided into seven areas along the flow direction, and the power variation in the runner domain was analyzed to reflect its energy conversion characteristics. The obtained results indicate that the critical area of the runner for doing the work is in the front half of the blades, while the rear area of the blades does relatively little work and even consumes the mechanical energy of the runner to produce negative work. The high energy area is concentrated in the flow passage facing the nozzle. The energy is gradually evenly distributed from the runner inlet to the runner outlet, and the negative energy caused by flow separation with high probability is gradually reduced. The clarification of the energy conversion performance is of great significance to improve the design of impulse water turbines.
