Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting and Structural Health Monitoring using Thin Surface Bonded PZT Patches
Q1. The d31 -mode is explored for the possibility of energy harvesting from the
Q2. The structure is assumed to be operating in idle state and SHM state
Q3. The PZT patches will harvest the energy and store it in an appropriate storage device for SHM state
Q4. In the SHM state, the same stored energy will be utilized by the other PZT patch
Q5. The total duration of the SHM state will be very small as compared to the idle state
