The present paper presents an innovative approach for the numerical modeling of piezo-
electric transducers for the health-monitoring of layered structures. The numerical approach …

Current in situ damage detection of fibre-reinforced composites typically uses sensors which
are attached to the structure. This may make periodic inspection difficult for complex part …

In this paper a bistable composite cantilever beam comprising asymmetric laminates is
studied for vibration energy harvesting applications. An additional magnetic bistability is …

Polymeric materials play an essential and ubiquitous role in many fields including structural
and packaging materials, drug development, tissue engineering, wastewater treatment …

Harvesting of energy remains a subject under great attention and this chapter provides a
