Piezoelectric vibration energy harvesting has been investigated for different applications due to the amount of wasted vibration from dynamic systems. In the case of piezoelectric materials, this energy lost to the environment can be recovered through the vibration of energy harvesting devices, which convert mechanical vibration into useful electrical energy. In this context, this chapter aims to present the mechanical/electrical coupling on a simple dynamic system model in which a linear piezoelectric material model is incorporated. For this purpose, a mechanical/electrical element of a piezoelectric disk is developed and integrated into a lumped mass, viscous damping, and spring assembling, similar to a quarter car suspension system. Equations of motion for this dynamic system in the time domain can be solved using the finite element method. The recovered electric power and energy density for PZT (Lead Zirconate Titanate) from the wasted vibration can be predicted considering that the road roughness is introduced as an input mode.

The purpose of this paper is to assess whether the national program on beef self sufficiency could be achieved at 2014. A dynamic system model with Vensim computer program is applied. The model validated by Mean Absolute Percentage Error. The results shows high accuracies of the model. The assessment show that, first, the beef self sufficiency would not be achieved at 2014 if the program are treated and running as usual (Scenario I). Second, the beef self sufficiency would be achieved at 2015 if government increase the cow population by reducing the slaughter of local cows and expanding the cross breeding program through artificial insemination (Scenario II). Third, the beef self sufficiency would not be achieved at 2014 if the actual beef consumption are higher than the supply that produce through Scenario II (Scenario III). Another innovative solution for increasing local cow population is needed.

MEMS Energy Harvesting(EH) devices are excepted to grow in the upcoming years, due to the increasing aspects of MEMS EH devices in vast applications. In Recent advancements in energy harvesting (EH) technologies wireless sensor devices play a vital role to extend their lifetime readily available in natural resources. In this paper the design of MEMS Cantilever at low frequency (100Hz) with different piezoelectric materials Gallium Arsenide (GaAs), Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT-8), Tellurium Dioxide (TeO2), Zinc oxide (ZnO) is simulated and performance with different materials are compared. The results are analyzed with various parameters such as electric potential voltage, von mises stress, displacement. The paper discusses the suitability of the piezoelectric material for MEMS fully cochlear implantable sensor application.

The concept of harvesting energy in our surrounding has recently drawn global attention. Harvesting the ambient energy of the deflected tire and convert it to electricity is discussed in this paper. An Elastic pneumatic tire deflects due to the load it carries. This deflection appears as a contact patch to the road surface. Initially, the concept of the tire deflection will be discussed. This deflection is then related to the wasted energy used for deflection. The dependency of this energy to some important parameters such as the tire air pressure, vehicle speed and tire geometry and forces are primarily discussed. To harvest the deflection energy different well established methods are exists. Due to the tire environment, piezoelectric transducers can serve as the best option. Those transducers are traditionally used to produce mechanical motion due to the applied electrical charges. This material is also capable of generating electrical charges by mechanical motion and deflections. For the tire energy harvesting application, the piezoelectric stacks can be mounted inside a tire structure such that electric charge is generated therein as the wheel assembly moves along a ground surface. For this application, lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) is selected. The PZT inside the tire is modeled as a cantilever beam vibration in its first mode of vibration. The frequency of vibration is calculated based on the car speed, tire size, and PZT stack length. A mathematical model for this energy harvesting application is derived. Based on this model, the optimum load of the electrical circuit is also found. Finally the amount of energy harvested from tire using PZT is calculated. Although this energy is not significantly high, it will be enough to provide power for wireless sensors applications.
