Energy Harvesting From Traffic in a Bridge Using PZT Materials. Thought as an Engineer and processes Solutions

      Аннотация: The subject of my research concerns the extraction of electrical energy generated by piezoelectric materials through the movement applied by the passage of the traffic involved on the bridge. In order to determine the energy, I simulated the acceleration values on MATLAB to obtain the parameters responsible for the generation of the electricity. The results that are seen are low values because of the specification of our case studies that extends into well-defined points.
