| Abstract [eng] |
The continuous reduction in power consumption of wireless sensing electronics has led to immense research interests in vibration energy harvesting techniques for selfpowered devices. Currently, most vibration-based energy harvesters are designed as linear resonators that only work efficiently with limited bandwidth near their resonant frequencies. Unfortunately, in the vast majority of practical scenarios, ambient vibrations are frequency-varying or totally random with energy distributed over a wide frequency range. Hence, increasing the bandwidth of vibration energy harvesters has become one of the most critical issues before these harvesters can be widely deployed in practice. This paper presents the simulation results of high frequency harvester composed from circular piezoelectric bimorph. A high frequency piezoelectric generator is proposed, because that during material cutting excited high frequency vibrations could be useful for the excitation of circular piezoelectric transducer bimorphs. The broadband vibration energy harvesting possibility is achieved by changing circular plate shape and constraints conditions. Self-powered wireless sensor node is elaborated for smart cutting tools applications. |
