Abstract
In this article, an innovative three-dimensional (3-D) braided piezoelectric composite vibration energy harvester (BPCVEH) is designed. The geometry and representative volume unit (RVU) models of the 3-D braided piezoelectric composites (BPCs) are established based on the braided process. The effective elastic, piezoelectric, and dielectric constants of the 3-D BPCs are also predicted. The electro-mechanical coupling vibration equation of the 3-D BPCVEH under forced vibration is derived, and its output response and vibration mode are analyzed. The effects of environment frequency, load resistance, and external excitation acceleration on the voltage and power response of 3-D BPCVEH with different volume fractions are studied.
