Data underlying the PhD dissertation chapter 4: Benchmark Energy Harvesting Model for Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composites Utilizing Surface-Mounted Piezoelectric Materials
What's in it
This dataset contains the data supporting Chapter 4 of the dissertation. This chapter has been published as a peer-reviewed journal article: https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-665X/ad43cbThis work provides a theoretical model for evaluating the energy harvesting of bendable ECC using surface-mounted polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). In the mechanical part, concrete damage plasticity model based on the explicit dynamic analysis was utilized to simulate the dynamic flexural behavior of ECC beam under different dynamic loading rates. The mechanism of force transfer through the bond layer between the PVDF film and ECC specimen was simulated by a surface-surface sliding friction model wherein the PVDF film was simplified as shell element to reduce computational cost. Then, the electromechanical behavior of the piezoelectric film was simulated by a piezoelectric finite element model. A simplified model was also given for a quick calculation. The theoretical model was verified with the experimentally measured mechanical and electrical results from the literature. Finally, a parametric analysis of the effects of electromechanical parameters on the efficiency of energy harvesting was performed. …
