Modeling and Simulation of Triangle Cantilever Piezoelectric Vibrator

Abstract:

In considering of the triangle cantilever beam can improve the problem of stress concentration in rectangular cantilever beam, the piezoelectric power generating mathematical model of triangle cantilever piezoelectric vibrator is build base on piezoelectric equation and material mechanics. The effect of structure size on the electricity generating capacity is simulated with numerical The result shows that the applied electric field have less effect on the output voltage, and the substrate thickness and length of cantilever beam have bigger influence on the output voltage.
