Miniaturized but efficient cantilever beam vibration energy harvesters for wireless bridge health monitoring applications

C6.3 - Theoretical Model and Simulation of a 3D Printed Multi-Material Vibration Harvester

“…A height of 1 mm was chosen in order to achieve a low resonance frequency, while still allowing the wire-embedment. Low frequencies offer more energy [6]. The composite layer was simplified for calculation and assumed as a homogenous layer as shown in Fig.…”
