typically, two configurations are used for energy harvesting, with different advantages: piezoelastic and piezomagnetoelastic. best performance of piezoelastic configuration is limited to its narrow bandwidth around the resonance frequency. if the excitation frequency slightly deviates from the resonance frequency, the power-out is severely reduced. to overcome this, the piezomagnetoelastic has...
