摘要: We have examined a piezoelectric unimorph cantilever (PUC) with unequal and nonpiezoelectric lengths for vibration energy harvesting theoretically by extending the analysis of PUC equal lengths. The theoretical approach was validated experiments. A case study showed that fixed frequency, maximum open-circuit induced voltage which important charge storage later use occurred had nonpiezoelectric-to-piezoelectric length ratio greater than unity, whereas power when connected to resistor immediate consumption at unity ratio.
