On energy harvesting module for scalable cognitive autonomous nondestructive sensing network (SCANSⁿ) system for bridge health monitoring

Magnetoelastic Energy Harvesting: Modeling and Experiments

“…Then, smart renewable energy methods should be used instead. Solar and thermal harvesting have been proposed [43] but these solutions can be both costly and bulky. Nevertheless, bridges as many other civil infrastructure vibrate because of the wind action and of traffic loadings or, when presents, for trains traffic loadings.…”
