Abstract
In this paper the mathematical modelling and analysis of single beam piezoelectric energy harvesting is investigated using unimorph piezoelectric energy harvester to harvest wideband mechanical energy. The mathematical modelling is derived based on Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. Finally, the computed natural frequencies with voltage are presented in the form of dispersion curves. This type of study is important in green technology; especially in Energy scavenging, Renewable energy technology and Micro Electromechanical Devices (MEMS).
