Vibration analysis and pull-in instability behavior in a multiwalled piezoelectric nanosensor with fluid flow conveyance.

ABSTRACT: In this work, surface/interface effects for pull-in voltage and viscous fluid velocity effects on the dimensionless natural frequency of fluid-conveying multiwalled piezoelectric nanosensors (FC-MWPENSs) based on cylindrical nanoshells is investigated using the Gurtin-Murdoch surface/interface theory. The nanosensor is embedded in a viscoelastic foundation and subjected to nonlinear van der Waals and electrostatic forces. Hamilton's principle is used to derive the governing and boundary conditions and is also the assumed mode method used for changing the partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The influences of the surface/interface effect, such as Lame's constants, residual stress, piezoelectric constants and mass density, are considered for analysis of the dimensionless natural frequency with respect to the viscous fluid velocity and pull-in voltage of the FC-MWPENSs.

A fully passive nonlinear piezoelectric vibration absorber.

Project description:The objective of this study is to develop the first fully passive nonlinear piezoelectric tuned vibration absorber (NPTVA). The NPTVA is designed to mitigate a specific resonance of a nonlinear host structure. To avoid the use of synthetic inductors which require external power, closed magnetic circuits in ferrite material realize the large inductance values required by vibration mitigation at low frequencies. The saturation of an additional passive inductor is then exploited to build the nonlinearity in the NPTVA. The performance of the proposed device is demonstrated both numerically and experimentally.This article is part of the theme issue 'Nonlinear energy transfer in dynamical and acoustical systems'.

Seagrass deformation affects fluid instability and tracer exchange in canopy flow.

Project description:Monami is the synchronous waving of a submerged seagrass bed in response to unidirectional fluid flow. Here we develop a multiphase model for the dynamical instabilities and flow-driven collective motions of buoyant, deformable seagrass. We show that the impedance to flow due to the seagrass results in an unstable velocity shear layer at the canopy interface, leading to a periodic array of vortices that propagate downstream. Our simplified model, configured for unidirectional flow in a channel, provides a better understanding of the interaction between these vortices and the seagrass bed. Each passing vortex locally weakens the along-stream velocity at the canopy top, reducing the drag and allowing the deformed grass to straighten up just beneath it. This causes the grass to oscillate periodically even in the absence of water waves. Crucially, the maximal grass deflection is out of phase with the vortices. A phase diagram for the onset of instability shows its dependence on the fluid Reynolds number and an effective buoyancy parameter. Less buoyant grass is more easily deformed by the flow and forms a weaker shear layer, with smaller vortices and less material exchange across the canopy top. While higher Reynolds number leads to stronger vortices and larger waving amplitudes of the seagrass, waving amplitude is maximized at intermediate grass buoyancy. All together, our theory and computations develop an updated schematic of the instability mechanism consistent with experimental observations.

Data of piezoelectric vibration energy harvesting of a bridge undergoing vibration testing and train passage.

Project description:The data presented in this article is in relation to the research article "Vibration energy harvesting based monitoring of an operational bridge undergoing forced vibration and train passage" Cahill et al. (2018) [1]. The article provides data on the full-scale bridge testing using piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters on Pershagen Bridge, Sweden. The bridge is actively excited via a swept sinusoidal input. During the testing, the bridge remains operational and train passages continue. The test recordings include the voltage responses obtained from the vibration energy harvesters during these tests and train passages. The original dataset is made available to encourage the use of energy harvesting for Structural Health Monitoring.

A Comparison Study of Fatigue Behavior of Hard and Soft Piezoelectric Single Crystal Macro-Fiber Composites for Vibration Energy Harvesting.

Project description:Designing a piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) with high power density and high fatigue resistance is essential for the successful replacement of the currently using batteries in structural health monitoring (SHM) systems. Among the various designs, the PEH comprising of a cantilever structure as a passive layer and piezoelectric single crystal-based fiber composites (SFC) as an active layer showed excellent performance due to its high electromechanical properties and dynamic flexibilities that are suitable for low frequency vibrations. In the present study, an effort was made to investigate the reliable performance of hard and soft SFC based PEHs. The base acceleration of both PEHs is held at 7 m/s2 and the frequency of excitation is tuned to their resonant frequency (fr) and then the output power (Prms) is monitored for 107 fatigue cycles. The effect of fatigue cycles on the output voltage, vibration displacement, dielectric, and ferroelectric properties of PEHs was analyzed. It was noticed that fatigue-induced performance degradation is more prominent in soft SFC-based PEH (SS-PEH) than in hard SFC-based PEH (HS-PEH). The HS-PEH showed a slight degradation in the output power due to a shift in fr, however, no degradation in the maximum power was noticed, in fact, dielectric and ferroelectric properties were improved even after 107 vibration cycles. In this context, the present study provides a pathway to consider the fatigue life of piezoelectric material for the designing of PEH to be used at resonant conditions for long-term operation.

Vibration energy harvesting using piezoelectric unimorph cantilevers with unequal piezoelectric and nonpiezoelectric lengths.

Project description:We have examined a piezoelectric unimorph cantilever (PUC) with unequal piezoelectric and nonpiezoelectric lengths for vibration energy harvesting theoretically by extending the analysis of a PUC with equal piezoelectric and nonpiezoelectric lengths. The theoretical approach was validated by experiments. A case study showed that for a fixed vibration frequency, the maximum open-circuit induced voltage which was important for charge storage for later use occurred with a PUC that had a nonpiezoelectric-to-piezoelectric length ratio greater than unity, whereas the maximum power when the PUC was connected to a resistor for immediate power consumption occurred at a unity nonpiezoelectric-to-piezoelectric length ratio.

Effect of Incorporation of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes on the Microstructure and Flow Behavior of Highly Concentrated Emulsions.

Project description:Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were incorporated into highly concentrated water-in-oil emulsions with the ultimate aim of achieving a uniform and effective dispersion of MWCNTs within the emulsion matrix. The emulsion was formulated in such a way, wherein the internal phase consists of higher than 90 wt %. By keeping the same aqueous-to-oil phase ratio, the amount of MWCNTs in the oil phase was systematically adjusted to investigate their effects on the microstructure development and rheological behavior of the emulsion. The addition of MWCNTs led to a reduced droplet size and also resulted in a narrower distribution of the droplet size. The rheological behavior of nanotube-incorporated emulsions was characterized with varying MWCNT concentrations and also as a function of the emulsification time. The rheological characteristics of the nanotube-incorporated emulsions were identical to those of the neat emulsion and were primarily governed by the variation in the droplet size and droplet-size distribution. However, the yield strain and cross-over strain were independent of the mean droplet size and polydispersity of the emulsion. Emulsions that have smaller droplets exhibited higher storage modulus (G'), yield stress (τY), and apparent viscosity (η). For all refining times investigated, nanotube-incorporated emulsions have higher G', τY, and η values when compared to the neat emulsion, and these values further increased with the MWCNT concentration. This was primarily due to the decrease in the droplet size with MWCNT addition. Furthermore, our findings suggest that the incorporated MWCNTs did not induce any significant change in the rheological behavior of emulsions with identical droplet sizes, and it remained essentially unchanged with the concentration of MWCNTs. However, the nanotube-incorporated emulsions possessed solidlike behavior up to a higher applied stress when compared to a neat emulsion of identical droplet size.

Rontgen's electrode-free elastomer actuators without electromechanical pull-in instability.

Project description:Electrical actuators made from films of dielectric elastomers coated on both sides with stretchable electrodes may potentially be applied in microrobotics, tactile and haptic interfaces, as well as in adaptive optical elements. Such actuators with compliant electrodes are sensitive to the pull-in electromechanical instability, limiting operational voltages and attainable deformations. Electrode-free actuators driven by sprayed-on electrical charges were first studied by Röntgen in 1880. They withstand much higher voltages and deformations and allow for electrically clamped (charge-controlled) thermodynamic states preventing electromechanical instabilities. The absence of electrodes allows for direct optical monitoring of the actuated elastomer, as well as for designing new 3D actuator configurations and adaptive optical elements.

Meandering instability of air flow in a granular bed: self-similarity and fluid-solid duality.

Project description:Meandering instability is familiar to everyone through river meandering or small rivulets of rain flowing down a windshield. However, its physical understanding is still premature, although it could inspire researchers in various fields, such as nonlinear science, fluid mechanics and geophysics, to resolve their long-standing problems. Here, we perform a small-scale experiment in which air flow is created in a thin granular bed to successfully find a meandering regime, together with other remarkable fluidized regimes, such as a turbulent regime. We discover that phase diagrams of the flow regimes for different types of grains can be universally presented as functions of the flow rate and the granular-bed thickness when the two quantities are properly renormalized. We further reveal that the meandering shapes are self-similar as was shown for meandering rivers. The experimental findings are explained by theory, with elucidating the physics. The theory is based on force balance, a minimum-dissipation principle, and a linear-instability analysis of a continuum equation that takes into account the fluid-solid duality, i.e., the existence of fluidized and solidified regions of grains along the meandering path. The present results provide fruitful links to related issues in various fields, including fluidized bed reactors in industry.

Study in circular auxetic structures for efficiency enhancement in piezoelectric vibration energy harvesting.

Project description:Piezoelectric (PZT) components are one of the most popular elements in vibration sensing and also energy harvesting. They are very well established, cost effective and available in different geometries however there are still several challenges in their application particularly in vibration energy harvesting. They are normally narrow-band elements and work in high-frequency range. Their efficiency and power extraction density are also generally low compared with different electromagnetic techniques. Auxetic structures are proposed here to enhance efficiency of the piezoelectric circular patches in vibration energy harvesting. These kinds of patches namely PZT buzzers are inexpensive (less than 10 USD) elements and easily available. Two novel circular auxetic substrates are proposed to improve power extraction capacity of the conventional piezoelectric buzzers. Negative Poison's ratio of the proposed meta-structure helps in efficiency enhancement. The concept is introduced, analyzed and verified through the finite element modeling and experimental testing. The idea is proved to work by comparing the harvested electrical power in the auxetic design against the conventional plain system. A parametric study is then carried out and effects of important electrical and geometrical parameters as well as the material property on the power extraction efficiency are assessed to arrive at optimum parameters. It is shown that by employing the auxetic design, a remarkable improvement in the harvested power is achievable. It is shown that for the two proposed auxetic designs, at the resonance frequency, we could reach to 10.2 and 13.3 magnification factor with respect to the plain energy harvester. Another important feature is that the resonant frequency in these new designs is very much lower than the conventional resonators. Results of this study can open a new path to application of inexpensive PZT buzzers in large-scale vibration energy harvesting.

An experimental study on a piezoelectric vibration energy harvester for self-powered cardiac pacemakers.

Project description:BackgroundOver the past half-century, cardiac pacing technology has been reported. In this study, we designed, prepared, and tested the performance of a self-energized cardiac pacemaker driven by piezoelectric vibration energy collection technology, which converts the kinetic energy of the heart into electrical energy. A record in vivo output current of 54 nA was obtained in an adult rat by the implanted piezoelectric transducer.MethodsFirst, the kinetic energy of the heart was collected by an implanted piezoelectric energy collector and supplied to the cardiac pacemaker. Then, the heart was pierced from the outside, and the cardiac tissue was stimulated by the pacing electrode, and self-powered pacing.ResultsThe average voltage and average current of the piezoelectric vibration energy harvester in vitro were 3.5 mV and 60 nA, respectively. After implantation of the device into rats, the average voltage and current were measured immediately and reached 3.2 mV and 54 nA, respectively. The average voltage and average current reached 3.0 mV and 48 nA after 1 week, and 2.1 mV and 31 nA after 12 weeks. The electrical performance of the self-powered pacemaker in this study is based on piezoelectric energy collection technology. The implanted piezoelectric vibration energy collector drives the pacemaker to generate electrical pulses, which directly stimulates the myocardial tissue through the epicardium to achieve the pacing effect.ConclusionsThese results evidence the feasibility of the in-situ epicardial pacing strategy. This research will promote the design and development of self-powered cardiac pacemakers.
