Journal ArticleDOI
A piezoelectric fibre composite based energy harvesting device for potential wearable applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a micropower generator using microcomposite based piezoelectric materials for energy reclamation in glove structures is presented, where the fibres are laid within a single laminate structure with copper interdigitated electrodes assembled on both sides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-piercing riveting-a review
TL;DR: In this paper, the current state and development of self-piercing riveting (SPR) process is reviewed and the influence of the key process parameters on joint quality is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utilisation of smart polymers and ceramic based piezoelectric materials for scavenging wasted energy
I. Patel,Elias Siores,Tahir Shah +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a micropower based harvesting generator using piezoelectric PZT (lead zirconate titanate) ceramic, PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) membrane and PP (polypropylene) foam polymer with the intention of establishing power output from temperature fluctuations.

Book ChapterDOI
Ceramic Based Intelligent Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Device
TL;DR: In 2008, total worldwide energy consumption was 474 exajoules (474×1018 J) with 80 to 90 percent derived from fossil fuels as mentioned in this paper, which is equivalent to an average power consumption rate of 15 terawatts (1.504×1013 W).
