Hydro-electromechanical modelling of a piezoelectric wave energy converter

We investigate the hydro-electromechanical coupled dynamics of a piezoelectric wave energy converter. The converter is made of a flexible bimorph plate, clamped at its ends and forced to motion by incident ocean surface waves. The piezoceramic layers are connected in series and transform the elastic...
