Microscale piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) are promising devices for converting ambient thermal and vibrational energy into usable electrical power. However, their performance is strongly ...

An efficient piezoelectric sandwich beam finite element is presented here. It employs the coupled polynomial field interpolation scheme for field variables which incorporates electromechanical ...

Western Kentucky University’s mathematics research group has earned major recognition in the international research community with multiple student-led publications in Q1-ranked journals in control ...

This work presents the active control of nonlinear vibrations of a piezoelectric-elastic-piezoelectric sandwich beam, subjected to transverse excitation while neglecting axial displacement effects. By ...

Abstract: In this work, we study thickness down-scaling as a technique to miniaturize piezoelectric ultrasound transducers while preserving a frequency of operation that falls in the 40–100 kHz range, ...
