text: 'A piezoelectric cantilever beam with a tip mass at its free end is a common
energy harvester configuration. This article introduces a new principle of designing
such a harvester that increases the generated power without changing the resonance
frequency of the harvester: the attraction force between two permanent magnets
is used to add stiffness to the system. This magnetic stiffening counters the
effect of the tip mass on the efficient operation frequency. Five set-ups incorporating
piezoelectric bimorph cantilevers of the same type in different mechanical configurations
are compared theoretically and experimentally to investigate the feasibility of
this principle: theoretical and experimental results show that magnetically stiffened
harvesters have important advantages over conventional set-ups with and without
tip mass. They generate more power while only slightly increasing the deflection
in the piezoelectric harvester and they can be tuned across a wide range of excitation
frequencies.'

text: Power and bandwidth of piezoelectric harvesters can be increased by using
multiple piezoelectric elements in one harvester. In this contribution, a novel
energy harvesting cantilever array with magnetic tuning including three piezoelectric
bimorphs is investigated theoretically and experimentally, with a good agreement
between model and experiment. Other than harvester designs proposed before, this
array is easy to manufacture and insensitive to manufacturing tolerances because
its optimum operation frequency can be re-adjusted after fabrication. Using the
superposition principle, the Butterworth-Van Dyke model and a mechanical lumped
parameters model, the generated voltage and current are determined analytically.
Formulas for calculating the power generated by array harvesters with an arbitrary
number of piezoelectric elements connected in series or in parallel are derived.
It is shown that optimum harvester design must take both the connected load and
the operating frequency into account. Strategies for connecting multiple bimorphs
to increase the maximum generated power and/or enhance the bandwidth compared
to a single bimorph harvester are investigated. For bandwidth enhancement it is
essential that individual rectifiers are used for the bimorphs. An example with
three bimorphs shows that, depending on the chosen tuning strategy, the power
is increased by about 340\% or the bandwidth is increased by about 500\%, compared
to one single bimorph.

text: "''Energy Harvester`` wandeln Umgebungsenergie in nützliche elektrische Energie.
Zur Berechnung der elektromechanischen Charakteristik eines piezoelektrischen
''Energy Harvesters\" wird ein auf Materialeigenschaften, Geometrie und Randbedingungen
basierendes analytisches Modell vorgestellt. Dieses dient als Basis für ein weiteres
Modell, welches den Betrieb eines autonomen Systems beschreibt. Die theoretischen
Arbeiten werden mit Laborversuchen validiert. Es zeigt sich, dass der piezoelektrische
Harvester im eingeschwungenen Zustand durch den Gleichrichtungsvorgang zwei abwechselnde
Lastzustände erfährt. Dies führt zu nichtlinearem Verhalten des Harvesters, besonders
wenn die angeschlossene Last eine geringe Impedanz hat. Desweiteren zeigen die
Ergebnisse, dass ein solches autonomes System effizient arbeitet, wenn es an eine
Last mit hoher Impedanz angeschlossen ist und bei einer der Antiresonanzfrequenz
des piezoelektrischen Harvesters entsprechenden Frequenz angeregt wird.Das Modell
des autonomen Systems wird auf ein System mit mehreren piezoelektrischen Wandlern
erweitert. Zur praktischen Implementierung eines solchen Systems wird eine Technik
zur Frequenzeinstellung eingeführt, da die optimalen Betriebsfrequenzen der einzelnen
Wandler aufeinander abgestimmt werden müssen. Die Einstellung erfolgt, indem die
Entfernung zwischen zwei Permanentmagneten und damit deren Anziehungskraft, welche
die Steifigkeit des Harvesters beeinflusst, angepasst wird. Diese Technik zur
Frequenzeinstellung wird modelliert und experimentell validiert. Die Ergebnisse
zeigen, dass die Frequenzeinstellung mittels Permanentmagneten eine einfache und
zugleich effektive Lösung für das Problem der Frequenzanpassung piezoelektrischer
''Energy Harvester\" darstellt. \r\nEnergy harvesters convert ambient energy into
useful electrical energy. An analytical model for calculating the electromechanical
characteristics of a piezoelectric harvester based on the material properties,
geometry and boundary conditions is presented. This model is the basis for a further
model which describes the operation of an autonomous system powered by a piezoelectric
harvester. This theoretical work is validated by corresponding laboratory experiments.
It is found that, in steady-state operation, the piezoelectric harvester experiences
two alternating load conditions due to the rectification process. These load conditions
make the system behave nonlinearly, especially if the connected electrical load
is of low impedance. Furthermore, the results show that such an autonomous system
works efficiently if it is connected to a high impedance load and excited at a
frequency matching the anti-resonance frequency of the piezoelectric harvester.The
model of an autonomous system is extended to describe a system with multiple piezoelectric
transducers. For implementing such a system, the optimum operation frequencies
of the individual transducers must be adjusted. Therefore, a frequency tuning
method is introduced. The tuning is accomplished by adjusting the distance between
two permanent magnets and thus changing the attracting force between them in order
to affect the structural stiffness of the harvester. This tuning method is modeled
and validated experimentally. The results show that frequency tuning using permanent
magnets is a simple and effective solution for the frequency adjustment of piezoelectric
energy harvesters."

text: 'A piezoelectric energy harvester is an electromechanical device that converts
ambient mechanical vibration into electric power. Most existing vibration energy
harvesting devices operate effectively at a single frequency only, dictated by
the design of the device. This frequency must match the frequency of the host
structure vibration. However, real world structural vibrations rarely have a specific
constant frequency. Therefore, piezoelectric harvesters that generate usable power
across a range of exciting frequencies are required to make this technology commercially
viable. Currently known harvester tuning techniques have many limitations, in
particular they miss the ability to work during harvester operation and most often
cannot perform a precise tuning. This paper describes the design and testing of
a vibration energy harvester with tunable resonance frequency, wherein the tuning
is accomplished by changing the attraction force between two permanent magnets
by adjusting the distance between the magnets. This tuning technique allows the
natural frequency to be manipulated before and during operation of the harvester.
Furthermore the paper presents a physical description of the frequency tuning
effect. The experimental results achieved with a piezoelectric bimorph fit the
calculated results very well. The calculation and experimental results show that
using this tuning technique the natural frequency of the harvester can be varied
efficiently within a wide range: in the test setup, the natural frequency of the
piezoelectric bimorph could be increased by more than 70\%.'

text: Piezoelectric structures are nowadays used in many different applications.
A better understanding of the influence of material properties and geometrical
design on the performance of these structures helps to develop piezoelectric structures
specifically designed for their application. Different equivalent circuits have
been introduced in the literature to investigate the behaviour of piezoelectric
transducers. The model parameters are usually determined from measurements covering
the characteristic frequencies of the piezoelectric transducer. This article introduces
an analytical technique for calculating the mechanical and electrical equivalent
system parameters and characteristic frequencies based on material properties
and geometry for a cantilever bimorph structure. The model is validated by measurements
using a cantilever bimorph and fits the experimental results better than previous
models. The model gives a full set of piezoelectric transducer parameters and
is therefore well suited for further theoretical investigations of piezoelectric
transducers for different applications. The results also show that even small
manufacturing tolerances have a considerable effect on the system parameters and
characteristic frequencies. This might lead to intolerable deviations, especially
in dynamic applications and should be avoided by careful design and production.
