Description
Summary:This paper presents the design and analysis of a multilayer cantilever to harvest vibration energy by generating acoustic signal. To do so, a five layer configuration is used to design the cantilever. Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT-8), Stainless Steel 405 Annealed, Aluminum and Zinc Oxide are used to develop the layers. Water is used as the medium to analyze the sound propagation pattern. Sound Pressure Level, displacements and electric potential of the cantilever are analyzed along with other parameters. From the results, it is evident that, the proposed cantilever can propagate sound within a range of 78.7 dB to 73.4 dB in a 50 mm spherical distance.
