“…The growing demand for high-performance actuators in engineering applications for smart structures has motivated researchers to enrich the electromechanical properties of piezoelectric materials. Dissimilar methods have been used by researchers [18,19] to enhance the performance of piezoelectric materials. For example, the concept of porosity in a piezoelectric material was introduced by Nomura et al [20] Their experimental outcomes demonstrated that the porous PZT material increases the voltage about ≈5 times.…”

This article explores the coupled static and dynamic electromechanical responses of single and multilayered functionally graded (FG) graphene platelet (GPL)-reinforced piezoelectric composite (GRPC) plates by developing a 3D finite-element model. The bending and eigenfrequency of piezoelectric FG composite plates are investigated, wherein an active behavior is proposed to be exploited in terms of the functional design of poling angle for a more elementary level property modulation. The numerical results reveal that the mechanical behavior concerning deflection and resonance frequency of FG-GRPC plates can be significantly enhanced and modulated due to the influence of piezoelectricity and a small fraction of GPLs along with the consideration of poling angle in a multiscale fully integrated computational framework. The notions of on-demand property modulation, actuation, and active control are established here by undertaking a comprehensive numerical analysis considering the coupled influences of poling orientations, different distributions, patterns, and weight fractions of GPLs along with different electromechanical loadings. Against the backdrop of the recent advances in microscale manufacturing, the current computational work will provide necessary physical insights in modeling piezoelectric multifunctional FG composites for active control of mechanical properties and harvesting electromechanical energy in a range of devices and systems.

“…The power production was observed at around 441 J, which was sufficient for low-power applications of the vehicle. Adhikari et al [ 8 ] conducted a PZT performance analysis in terms of power using parameters such as frequency, tip mass, and EIDC. They noted that the output power increased 19-fold with an enhancement of EIDC values.…”

This paper presents an experimental analysis of the optimization of PZT-based tiles for energy harvesting. The hardware (actual experiment), PZT-based tiles, were developed using 6 × 6 piezoelectric (PZT—lead zirconate titanate) sensors of 40 mm in diameter on a hard cardboard sheet (300 × 300 mm2). Our experimental analysis of the designed tiles obtained an optimized power of 3.626 mW (85 kg or 0.83 kN using 36 sensors) for one footstep and 0.9 mW for 30 footsteps at high tapping frequency. Theoretical analysis was conducted with software (Design-Expert) using the response surface methodology (RSM) for optimized PZT tiles, obtaining a power of 6784.155 mW at 150 kg or 1.47 kN weight using 34 sensors. This software helped to formulate the mathematical equation for the most suitable PZT tile model for power optimization. It used the quadratic model to provide adjusted and predicted R2 values of 0.9916 and 0.9650, respectively. The values were less than 0.2 apart, which indicates a high correlation between the actual and predicted values. The outcome of the various experiments can help with the selection of input factors for optimized power during pavement design.

“…Piezoelectric energy harvesting devices such as shoes, tiles, pavements, roads, small energy devices of wireless sensor networks, and pacemakers have been reported in the past to utilize this potential to some extent. movements and motions using the piezoelectric tiles, floors, and pavements has gained momentum and various studies have been conducted [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. In general, the piezoelectric-based tiles can be perceived as regular ceramic and granite tiles fitted with piezoelectric materials which facilitate harvesting the waste energy resulting from human movements.…”
