Figure 12
The maximum electrical power density of 30 various geometries of the trapezoidal two-piece composite piezoelectric bimorph beam (second design), in a closed circuit with the optimal resistor load. The length of the beam L is 60 mm, the thickness of Tpiezo is 0.3 mm, and the thickness of the brass layer Ts is 0.05 mm.
