Vibration Energy Harvesting Devices: Principles, Theory and Design

Vibration Energy Harvesting Devices: Principles, Theory and Design comprehensively covers the fundamental principles of the theory behind vibration energy harvesters and their design. It focuses is on the three main conversion techniques of electrostatic induction, the piezoelectric effect and electromagnetic induction. This book covers both macro-/meso-scale devices and micro devices with some emphasis on micro devices.

In an area subject to much worldwide research, Vibration Energy Harvesting Devices: Principles, Theory and Design begins with the basic principles and develops into state of the art topics. With its consistent and comprehensive approach, this book is ideal for researchers and engineers in academia and industry, as well as graduate students working on energy harvesting.
