Abstract
In a piezoelectric material, any external action that can generate a mechanical deformation could be a potential source of electrical energy. This phenomenon is studied for the development of microscale devices, using as external agents the hydraulic pressure of a fluid, the movement of the human being and others. Nowadays, the main researches are directed to the optimization of the properties of the developed piezoelectric and also to the simulation of different situations that allow the optimization of the energy harvesting devices. The present paper shows some simulations, which have been made by using the finites elements method to simulate the energy harvesting; the results are presented for a commercial piezoelectric, PZT-4.
