This paper proposes a monostable nonlinear Piezoelectric Energy Harvester (PEH). The harvester is based on an unconventional exsect-tapered fixed-guided spring design, which introduces nonlinearity into the system due to the bending and stretching of the spring. The physical-mathematical model and finite element simulations were performed to analyze the effects of the stretching-induced nonlinearity on the performance of the energy harvester. The proposed exsect-tapered nonlinear PEH shows a bandwidth and power enhancement of 15.38 and 44.4%, respectively, compared to conventional rectangular nonlinear PEHs. It shows a bandwidth and power enhancement of 11.11 and 26.83%, respectively, compared to a simple, linearly tapered and nonlinear PEH. The exsect-tapered nonlinear PEH improves the power output and operational bandwidth for harvesting low-frequency ambient vibrations.
本文提出了一种单稳态非线性压电能量采集器(PEH)。该采集器基于一种非常规的切除锥形固定导向弹簧设计,由于弹簧的弯曲和拉伸,该设计将非线性引入系统。进行了物理数学模型和有限元模拟,以分析拉伸引起的非线性对能量采集器性能的影响。与传统的矩形非线性PEH相比,所提出的切除锥形非线性PEH的带宽和功率分别提高了15.38%和44.4%。与简单的线性锥形非线性PEH相比,其带宽和功率分别提高了11.11%和26.83%。切除锥形非线性PEH提高了用于收集低频环境振动的功率输出和工作带宽。
