Abstract:
The physical model of a piezoelectric road energy harvester is successfully illustrated in this work. The principle governing the design of the piezoelectric elements of the harvester has been explained in detail. The design of the piezoelectric elements has been determined by various simulations in Matlab, and the plots of which have been represented thoroughly. Based on the Matlab results, a physical model of the piezoelectric energy harvester has been successfully designed using SolidWorks. The dynamic analysis of the harvester is used to elucidate the operation of the design. Finally, the stress and displacements plots are used to validate the proposed design of the piezoelectric road energy harvester.
