Abstract

In order to accurately predict the electromechanical coupling performance of bimorph piezoelectric cantilever structure. Based on Euler-Bernoulli beam assumption, the expression of output voltage response of the bimorph piezoelectric cantilever is written, the output voltage curve of unit acceleration excitation are obtained, the law of the output voltage influenced by the structure parameters of the cantilever beam length, width and thickness of the metal beam and the piezoelectric layer are analyzed, the results will play an important theoretical and engineering significance in the development of high efficient piezoelectric energy harvesting device.
