“…Of the five listed types of piezoelectric material above, Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) is one of the most frequently studied ferroelectric materials due to its vast array of applications as a pyroelectric material which is widely used for the repair of the structure [6]. From the literature, we observed that PZT is being used for the repair of cracks, shape control, vibration control, and structural health monitoring [7].…”

“…These challenges can be focused on in future studies, as well as finding their solutions in industrial applications. Additionally, one of the main important points that should be noted regarding PEH's is the type of ductile material that cannot be used in the high-stress area which will result in breaks of the PEH's specimen [7,101].…”

In the last three decades, smart materials have become popular. The piezoelectric materials have shown key characteristics for engineering applications, such as in sensors and actuators for industrial use. Because of their excellent mechanical-to-electrical and vice versa energy conversion properties, piezoelectric materials with high piezoelectric charge and voltage coefficient have been tested in renewable energy applications. The fundamental component of the energy harvester is the piezoelectric material, which, when subjected to mechanical vibrations or applied stress, induces the displaced ions in the material and results in a net electric charge due to the dipole moment of the unit cell. This phenomenon builds an electric potential across the material. In this review article, a detailed study focused on the piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEH’s) is reported. In addition, the fundamental idea about piezoelectric materials, along with their modeling for various applications, are detailed systematically. Then a summary of previous studies based on PEH’s other applications is listed, considering the technical aspects and methodologies. A discussion has been provided as a critical review of current challenges in this field. As a result, this review can provide a guideline for the scholars who want to use PEH’s for their research.

“…Taking advantage of the direct piezoelectric effect, different piezoelectric-based sensors have been designed for measuring pressure and stress [3][4][5], acceleration [6][7][8], and tactile stimuli [9,10], medical diagnostics [11,12], acoustics [13], structural health monitoring [14], etc. Moreover, using the same principle, many energy harvesters have been designed based on the piezoelectric principle for different applications, e.g., in transportation [15], wearable electronics [16], microfluidics [17], wind and ocean energies [18,19], and biomedical engineering [20].…”

Recently, piezoelectric materials have received remarkable attention in marine applications for energy harvesting from the ocean, which is a harsh environment with powerful and impactful waves and currents. However, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, although there are various designs of piezoelectric energy harvesters for marine applications, piezoelectric materials have not been employed for sensory and measurement applications in marine environment. In the present research, a drifter-based piezoelectric sensor is proposed to measure ocean waves’ height and period. To analyze the motion principle and the working performance of the proposed drifter-based piezoelectric sensor, a dynamic model was developed. The developed dynamic model investigated the system’s response to an input of ocean waves and provides design insights into the geometrical and material parameters. Next, finite element analysis (FEA) simulations using the commercial software COMSOL-Multiphysics were carried out with the help of a coupled physics analysis of Solid Mechanics and Electrostatics Modules to achieve the output voltages. An experimental prototype was fabricated and tested to validate the results of the dynamic model and the FEA simulation. A slider-crank mechanism was used to mimic ocean waves throughout the experiment, and the results showed a close match between the proposed dynamic modeling, FEA simulations, and experimental testing. In the end, a short discussion is devoted to interpreting the output results, comparing the results of the simulations with those of the experimental testing, sensor’s resolution, and the self-powering functionality of the proposed drifter-based piezoelectric sensor.

“…Piezoelectric ceramics, particularly lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) variants, are the most commonly used piezoelectric materials. Piezoelectric materials have been used to actively suppress the vibration of civil structures, minimize the vibration of helicopter rotor blades, actively regulate the aero-elastic flutter of aircraft, and actively control the vibration of hard disk drives [1][2][3].…”

The piezoelectric stack is employed as an actuator and a sensor in a variety of technical applications. The dynamic modelling of piezoelectric plates and stack is used to investigate and search for new applications in mechatronics systems that are based on various loading frequencies. Stacks are composed of series of the same size and whose plates feature the same material properties and are layered by dielectric sheets. This enables increased displacements to be achieved while freeing up more space. The major aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using differently modulated piezoelectric plates in a single stack. Mathematical modelling and the study of the characteristics of piezoelectric plates, as well as the stack, with respect to various geometrical parameters, enhances the utilization of the plate in mechatronics systems. The work focuses on the ability of piezoelectric stacks to generate complex vibration spectra comprising numerous frequencies. This is accomplished by utilizing different piezoelectric plates in the stack or by stimulating each plate with a distinct carrier frequency. The plate responses at a wide frequency of piezoelectric plates were investigated using several modeling environments and, finally, experimental findings were obtained. In addition to generating the hypothesis of triggering the plate in a single stack with a varied frequency spectrum, the experiment performed was employed for parameter identification. The experiment demonstrated that it is possible to increase the flexibility of systems by employing piezoelectric stacks as a mode of actuation and that piezo stacks can be used in systems that require precise actuation over a wide frequency range.
