An Exact Analytical Solution to Exponentially Tapered Piezoelectric Energy Harvester

It has been proven that tapering the piezoelectric beam through its length optimizes the power extracted from vibration based energy harvesting. This phenomenon has been investigated by some researchers using semianalytical, finite element and experimental methods. In this paper, an exact analytical...
