Abstract
Piezoelectric tiles can be used to generate electricity but its sturdiness to withstand any applied load is a major concern. The material should withstand all types of loadings. Therefore, the focus of this study is to analyze the withstanding ability of the piezo tile by considering different piezo tile materials tested under different loading conditions. Two materials namely, structural steel and carbon fiber is selected as tile materials which is subjected to uniform distributed load and non-uniform distributed load conditions. Finite element method is chosen to carry out the analysis using commercial finite element code ANSYS. The static structural properties namely, total deformation, equivalent (von-misses) stress and equivalent elastic strain is compared for both these materials tested at different loading conditions. Based on the parameters, the structural steel is observed to the apt material for fabrication of piezo tile used for tapping power from footsteps.
