Piezoelectric cantilever energy harvester with seismic mass is investigated. The vibration mode function is deduced
and the numerical calculation reveals the vibration mode characteristics with different mass ratio and the effects of mass ratio on the structure natural frequency. It is demonstrated that the mass ratio (^overM)
0
remarkably reduces the structure natural frequencies in the range of (^overM)
0
<
0.5
and infinite (^overM)
0
leads to a clamp end boundary condition. Vibration modes of a cantilevered piezoelectric energy harvester other than the fundamental mode have certain strain nodes where the dynamic strain distribution changes sign in the longitudinal direction of beam. Covering the strain nodes of the vibration modes with continuous electrodes results in strong cancellations of the electrical outputs
and energy harvesting efficiency is declined. And how to avoid the cancellation in
energy harvesting by segmented electrode pairs is discussed. The experiment results show that segmented electrodes facilitate generating higher energy.
