Accurate finite element modeling of multilayered flexible piezoelectric energy harvesting devices with strong coupling of structure, piezoelectricity, and circuit. (English) Zbl 07868827
Summary: Multilayered flexible piezoelectric energy harvesting devices (FPEDs) are a new future harvesting technology which are highly flexible and lightweight than familiar cantilever piezoelectric energy harvesters. This mechanical vibration driven FPED is a strongly coupled multiphysics phenomena that involve complex natural three-way interaction among the composite piezoelectric structure, the electric charge accumulated in the piezoelectric material, and a controlling electrical circuit attached to it. Efficient and accurate computational solution approaches are essential for analyzing these mechanical vibration-driven FPEDs to capture the main physical aspect of the coupled phenomena and to accurately predict the output voltage. While there are some numerical models for simple familiar cantilever type piezoelectric energy harvester reported in the literature, a fully three-dimensional strongly coupled model for complex material distributed, complex geometry, and multilayered FPED involving strong coupling of structure, piezoelectricity, and circuit phenomena has not yet been developed. A partitioned iterative algorithm is developed using a hierarchical decomposition approach wherein the coupled three fields are solved separately and coupled through loop union integration techniques that provide an efficient and accurate simulation of FPEDs. The simulation results matched the experiment results very well. This study provides a basis for the natural extension of partitioned iterative finite element coupled algorithm to simulate the future piezoelectric energy harvesting technologies involving a strong coupling of structure, piezoelectricity, and circuit phenomenon.
