Journal ArticleDOI
Energy harvesting from a piezoelectric biomimetic fish tail
Youngsu Cha,Woojin Chae,Hubert Kim,Horace Walcott,Sean D. Peterson,Sean D. Peterson,Maurizio Porfiri +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the feasibility of underwater energy harvesting from the vibrations of a biomimetic fish tail though piezoelectric materials, and propose and experimentally validate a modeling framework to predict the underwater vibration of the tail and the associated response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy harvesting from the tail beating of a carangiform swimmer using ionic polymer-metal composites.
Youngsu Cha,Matteo Verotti,Horace Walcott,Sean D. Peterson,Sean D. Peterson,Maurizio Porfiri +5 more
TL;DR: A modeling framework for the underwater vibration of the biomimetic tail is proposed, wherein the tail is assimilated to a cantilever beam with rectangular cross section and heterogeneous physical properties and the effect of the encompassing fluid is described through a hydrodynamic function.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Energy Harvesting From Base Excitation of a Biomimetic Fish Tail Hosting Ionic Polymer Metal Composites
TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of energy harvesting from the tail beating motion of a fish through active compliant materials was analyzed, where the tail is assimilated to a cantilever beam with rectangular cross section.
