摘要：The conversion of biomechanical energy from human movement into useful electrical energy to power wearable electronics has become a topic of extensive study. This paper studies a model suitable to design and characterize 33-mode energy harvester based on piezoelectric polymers for wearable applications. The aim is to describe adequately the 33-mode energy harvester behavior, with a reasonable number of parameters and based on well-known physical equations. The connection mode is been considered and the corresponding open circuit total voltages are derived, which are verified by the experiments. Moreover, the experiments prove that all the three harvesters can be used to scavenging energy.
