Nowadays, with more electrical devices developed and applied in wide fields, efficient
electrical energy generation is always one of the front-end and practical topics in …

Piezoelectric energy harvesters have been thoroughly investigated from a material or
mechanical application viewpoint. The need to understand the potential lifespan of these …

The industrial sector often employs piezoelectric materials as actuators for a variety of uses,
some of which require a precise positioning while being limited by space and cost factors …

Piezoelectric cantilever beams are broadly implemented in energy harvesting. However,
simple cantilever‐shaped harvesters are mostly unimodal. Herein, a T‐shaped cantilever …

Charge-based Self-Sensing Actuation (SSA) is a cost and space-saving method for accurate
piezoelectric based-actuator positioning. However, the performance of its implementation …

We developed a piezoelectric micromachined cantilever acoustic vector (PEMCAV) sensor.
We modeled the device using a “lumped” approach that considers fluid–structure interaction …

This paper introduces a new Self-Sensing Actuation approach for simultaneous estimation
of external loads and Piezoelectric Actuator (PEA) displacement at a frequency where the …

Energy harvesters with wide frequency range, long lifetime, and high output power are
preferred to serve as power supplies for wireless devices. Motivated to guide the design of a …

Drones are making a critical transition to develop and advance more complex environments.
Aquatic environments present many challenges for current robotic systems which primarily …
