• Self-tuning behavior of a clamped-clamped beam with sliding proof mass for broadband energy harvesting 

      Pillatsch, Pit; Miller, L.M.; Halvorsen, Einar; Wright, P.K.; Yeatman, Eric M.; Holmes, Andrew S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Real world systems rarely vibrate at a single resonance frequency and the frequencies drift over time. Tunable devices exist, but generally need additional energy to achieve frequency adaptation. This means that the benefits ...
    • Which is better, electrostatic or piezoelectric energy harvesting systems? 

      Elliott, A.D.T.; Miller, L.M.; Halvorsen, Einar; Wright, P.K.; Mitcheson, P.D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      This paper answers the often asked, and until now inadequately answered, question of which MEMS compatible transducer type achieves the best power density in an energy harvesting system. This question is usually poorly ...
