Abstract:A method for simulating coupled electromagnetic and mechanical vibrations on arbitrarily shaped piezoelectric structures is presented. This method is based on weak forms and can be implemented in any finite-element-method software, allowing editable access to their definitions. No quasi-static approximation is imposed, meaning that magnetic fields generated by displacement currents within piezoelectric materials are captured, enabling the flow of electromagnetic energy inside and around structures containing s… Show more
