Design, Modeling, and Simulation of Two-Piece Trapezoidal Piezoelectric Devices for Sensing and Energy Harvesting

<div>The thickness view of the composite two-piece trapezoidal beam’s upper and lower PZT-PZN-Scheme 4 layer thickness for both two bimorph designs. The length of the beam L is 60 mm, the thickness of <i>T</i><sub>piezo</sub> is 0.3 mm, and the thickness of the brass layer <i>T</i><sub>s</sub> is 0.05 mm.</div>
