Enhancing Power Harvesting using a Tuned Auxiliary Structure
TL;DR: In this article, the use of auxiliary structures, consisting of a mechanical fixture and a lead zirconate/lead titanate (PZT) piezoelectric element, which can be attached to any vibrating system, was examined.

The Resonant Body Transistor
Dana Weinstein,Sunil A. Bhave +1 more
TL;DR: The resonant body transistor (RBT), a silicon-based dielectrically transduced nanoelectromechanical (NEM) resonator embedding a sense transistor directly into the resonator body, marks the highest frequency acoustic resonance measured to date on a silicon wafer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Free vibration analysis of thin plates by using a NURBS-based isogeometric approach
TL;DR: In this paper, an isogeometric finite element method is presented for natural frequencies analysis of thin plate problems of various geometries, and the non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) basis function is applied for approximation of the thin plate deflection field, as for description of the geometry.

Dynamics of swaying of Picea sitchensis.
TL;DR: Six 26-year-old Sitka spruce trees growing in a Scottish plantation were swayed manually to determine their mechanical dynamics to find the damping of sway, which was found to consist of three components, interference of branches with those of neighbors, aerodynamic drag on foliage, and damping in the stem.

Artificial piezoelectric grass for energy harvesting from turbulence-induced vibration
Jared D. Hobeck,Daniel J. Inman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a deploy-and-forget energy harvesting device for use in low-velocity, highly turbulent fluid flow environments is presented. But, the design and performance of these probes along with calibration and measurement techniques are discussed.
