EXPLOITING ELASTICALLY SUPPORTED MASSES IN CANTILEVER FOR RESONANCE FREQUENCIES DOWN-SHIFTED VIBRATION ENERGY HARVESTER

Exploiting Elastically Supported Masses in Cantilever for Resonance Frequencies Down-Shifted Vibration Energy Harvester

This paper presents a piezoelectric vibration energy harvester (PVEH) with resonance frequencies shifted down by elastically supported masses.The added elastic supporters can diminish the equivalent stiffness BAG of the whole structure, leading to an evident decline in the resonance frequency of the cantilever body.Meantime, a new resonant peak is
