Journal ArticleDOI
Thin-layer composite unimorph ferroelectric driver and sensor properties
TL;DR: In this paper, 13 different configurations of a new class of piezoelectric devices called THUNDER (thin layer composite unimorph ferroelectric driver and sensor) were tested at two stages of the manufacturing process: before and after repoling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of various leg geometries on thermo-mechanical and power generation performance of thermoelectric devices
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of different leg geometries on the performance of thermoelectric modules with various leg configurations and finite element analyses for two different temperature gradients were carried out using ANSYS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclic energy harvesting from pyroelectric materials
TL;DR: A method of continuously harvesting energy from pyroelectric materials is demonstrated using an innovative cyclic heating scheme that uses radiation heating and natural cooling such that the temperature varies between hot and cold regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of leg sizing and spacing on power generation and thermal stresses of thermoelectric devices
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of leg dimensions and spacing on power-generation and thermo-mechanical performance of thermoelectric devices was investigated using numerical and statistical analyses tools.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of Thin Piezoelectric Materials for Pyroelectric Energy Harvesting
TL;DR: In this article, a model is developed to predict the power generation based on the temporal change in temperature of the material, and the measured and predicted power measurements are compared, where the maximum power density of 0.36mW/cm 2 is calculated with PMN-PT.
