TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated underwater thrust and electricity generation using biomimetic structures with macro-fiber composite piezoelectrics and compared the favorable effect of having a passive caudal fin on the frequency bandwidth.
Abstract: Fiber-based flexible piezoelectric composites offer several advantages to use in energy harvesting and biomimetic locomotion These advantages include ease of application, high power density, effective bending actuation, silent operation over a range of frequencies, and light weight Piezoelectric materials exhibit the well-known direct and converse piezoelectric effects The direct piezoelectric effect has received growing attention for low-power generation to use in wireless electronic applications while the converse piezoelectric effect constitutes an alternative to replace the conventional actuators used in biomimetic locomotion In this paper, underwater thrust and electricity generation are investigated experimentally by focusing on biomimetic structures with macro-fiber composite piezoelectrics Fish-like bimorph configurations with and without a passive caudal fin (tail) are fabricated and compared The favorable effect of having a passive caudal fin on the frequency bandwidth is reported The presence of a passive caudal fin is observed to bring the second bending mode close to the first one, yielding a wideband behavior in thrust generation The same smart fish configuration is tested for underwater piezoelectric power generation in response to harmonic excitation from its head Resonant piezohydroelastic actuation is reported to generate milli-newton level hydrodynamic thrust using milli-watt level actuation power input The average actuation power requirement for generating a mean thrust of 19 mN at 6 Hz using a 10 g piezoelastic fish with a caudal fin is measured as 120 mW This work also discusses the feasibility of thrust generation using the harvested energy toward enabling self-powered swimmer-sensor platforms with comparisons based on the capacity levels of structural thin-film battery layers as well as harvested solar and vibrational energy (Some figures may appear in colour only in the online journal)
