Performance Analysis of a Three-DOF Piezoelectric Vibration Energy Harvester
Abstract: Mechanical vibration energy can be transformed into electrical energy by a vibration energy harvester, which can then be stored in the battery for later use. It can convert vibrational motions like walking, leaping, running, etc. into pure renewable energy. This can turn previously squandered energy into energy that can be used to recharge wireless sensors and portable electronics. If these gadgets are used widely, they can produce a lot of …

Vibration Characteristics of Copper-Aluminium Composite under Different Boundary Conditions: Experiment and Simulation
Abstract: The utilization of vibration analysis on the tapered beam significantly enhances the engineering investigation and design process. It is notable that the width of the tapered beam exhibits variation along its length, while the height remains constant. Experimental modal testing aims to determine modal factors such as natural frequency, damping, and mode shapes. A comparative study is presented in this paper, examining the vibrational characteristics of tapered beams composed of …

Behaviour of Tri-Directional Advanced Composite Beam Using Finite Element Method
Abstract: The present work shows the modal analysis of tri-directional advanced composite beams using the finite element method. The mechanical parameters of the beam are supposed to vary in the direction of beam length (x), width (y), and thickness (h). In this work material parameters are assumed to vary according to the exponential rule of functionally graded material. To authenticate the accuracy of the present work, the result with a particular …

Multiphysics Optimization of Polymer–Metal Hybrid Electrode Geometry in Electrostatic Precipitators for Enhanced Particle Collection Efficiency
Abstract: Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) remain one of the most effective technologies for controlling fine particulate emissions in industrial exhaust systems. However, their performance is strongly influenced by electrode geometry and material characteristics, which govern electric field distribution, corona stability, and particle migration behaviour. In this study, a comprehensive numerical investigation is carried out to optimize electrode geometry using a multiphysics modelling framework, while introducing a novel polymer–metal hybrid design to enhance …
