This paper is focused on the numerical simulation of piezoelectric effects, in view of their application in MEMS harvesters and actuators. In order to obtain a fast and accurate prediction of dynamic behavior, a simple 1-DOF model has been introduced for thin piezoelectric beams. The validation of the model has been carried out by comparison with full 3D simulations via commercial codes.

Abstract

This paper is focused on the numerical simulation of piezoelectric effects, in view of their application in MEMS harvesters and actuators. In order to obtain a fast and accurate prediction of dynamic behavior, a simple 1-DOF model has been introduced for thin piezoelectric beams. The validation of the model has been carried out by comparison with full 3D simulations via commercial codes.
