ANSYS(TM) FEM: #multiphysics #simulation of #MEMS-sensors based on #silicon with #piezoelectric thin-film layers and etched #quartz crystals ...

The composite material is made of cellulose and potassium sodium niobate (KNN) piezo-ceramic particles. The 'scaffold' implants that can be created with it look like small, paper-like tubes ...

Abstract: Piezoelectric inertial actuators (PIAs) enable cross-scale motion ranging from nanometers to millimeters with simple and compact structures. However, friction and wear issues limit their ...

In this work, we demonstrate the ability of lysozyme amyloid protein fibrils to possess piezoelectric capabilities when assembled into a freestanding bulk material. We transformed hen egg white ...

Abstract: As the load deviates away from the maximum power point (MPP), the output power of the current piezoelectric energy harvester with synchronous switch harvesting on inductor (SSHI) drops ...
