Interaction Between Vortex‐Induced Vibrations and Base Vibrations in Piezoelectric Harvesters
International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the present era, powering sensors using green energy is a significant challenge. One promising solution for the power supply of small sensors relies on piezoelectric energy harvesters excited by vortex‐induced vibrations (VIVs) generated by wind.
