In this article, we present a control-oriented model for a piezoelectric (PZT) metamaterial
beam based on “amplifier–resonator”(A–R) circuits. This model enables a quantitative …

This study aims to examine the dynamic response of a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)
piezoelectric sensor which is embedded into an aluminum coupon using ultrasonic additive …

Adaptive metasurfaces composed of tunable, locally resonant piezoelectric unit cells offer
configurable dispersive properties, thereby facilitating the formation of phase gradients for …

This paper proposed an improved metamaterial piezoelectric beam with the acoustic black
holes (ABHs) for low-frequency energy harvesting. The ABHs are embedded in the local …

Structures with linkage mechanism, which could be widely seen in engineering, usually
need to bear a certain load and exhibit ideal vibration isolation performance. One of the key …

Metastructures are engineered systems composed of periodic arrays of identical
components, called resonators, designed to achieve specific dynamic effects, such as …

Piezoelectric Energy Harvesters (PEHs) are typically employed to provide additional source
of energy for a sensing system. However, studies show that a PEH can be also used as a …

Simultaneous passive vibration suppression and energy harvesting through piezoelectric
materials have been raising growing interest in the general area of structural dynamics. In …

Pendulum has recently been introduced into the field of elastic metamaterials because of its
low-frequency vibration characteristic, which further expands the application value of such …

This study proposes a model for a meta-structure based Piezoelectric Energy Harvester
(PEH) using multi-patch isogeometric analysis and Nitsche's method. The model is validated …
