This book covers the topic of vibration energy harvesting using
piezoelectric materials. Piezoelectric materials are analyzed in
the context of their electromechanical coupling, heterogeneity,
microgeometry and interrelations between electromechanical
properties. Piezoelectric ceramics and composites based on
ferroelectrics are advanced materials that are suitable for
harvesting mechanical energy from vibrations using inertial
energy harvesting which relies on the resistance of a mass to
acceleration and kinematic energy harvesting which couples the
energy harvester to the relative movement of different parts of a
source. In addition to piezoelectric materials, research efforts
to develop optimization methods for complex piezoelectric energy
harvesters are also reviewed. The book is important for
specialists in the field of modern advanced materials and will
stimulate new effective piezotechnical applications.
