Modeling and simulation of cantilever beam for wind energy harvesting

Energy Harvesting (EH) is the science that studies the conversion of energy dispersed in environment into a different and more useful form of energy, mainly the electrical one. In recent years, several energy-harvesting devices using piezoelectric materials have been developed to transform environmental vibrations into electrical energy. Since most piezoelectric energy harvesters are in form of cantilevered beams, the aim of this paper is to...
