It focusses on the latest available techniques recently published by researchers all over the world. Energy Harvesting allows otherwise wasted environmental energy to be converted into electric energy, such as vibrations, wind and solar energy. It is a common experience that the limiting factor for wearable electronics, such as smartphones or wearable bands, or for wireless sensors in harsh environments, is the finite energy stored in onboard batteries. Therefore, the answer to the battery "charge or change" issue is energy harvesting because it converts the energy in the precise location where it is needed. In order to achieve this, suitable smart materials are needed, such as piezoelectrics or magnetostrictives. Moreover, energy harvesting may also be exploited for other crucial applications, such as for the powering of implantable medical/sensing devices for humans and animals. Therefore, energy harvesting from smart materials will become increasingly important in the future. This book provides a broad perspective on this topic for researchers and readers with both physics and engineering backgrounds. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $a3D electrospinning 610 $aCurie temperature 610 $adouble-clamped 610 $adye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) 610 $adynamic stability 610 $aelectrical potential and energy 610 $aelectrodes pair 610 $aenergy harvesting 610 $afinite element method 610 $afinite element model 610 $afinite element simulation 610 $aGalfenol 610 $aglass fiber-reinforced polymer composite 610 $ahuman body movements 610 $airon (Fe) modified MgFeAl LDH 610 $airon-gallium 610 $alayered double hydroxide solar cell (LDHSC) 610 $alead-free piezoceramics 610 $alow-power devices 610 $alumped-element modelling 610 $amagnetic shape memory films 610 $amagnetization change 610 $amagnetostrictive 610 $amagnetostrictive materials 610 $ameasurements 610 $aMEMS structure 610 $amoving load 610 $amultifunctional structural laminate 610 $an/a 610 $aNi-Mn-Ga film 610 $aopen circuit voltage 610 $aoptical bandgap analysis 610 $aphotoactive layered double hydroxide (LDH) 610 $aphotoactive material 610 $aphotovoltaic device design 610 $apiezoelectric ceramics 610 $apiezoelectric energy harvester 610 $apiezoelectric material 610 $apiezoelectric sensing 610 $apiezoelectric unit distributions 610 $apiezoelectricity 610 $apolymer and composites 610 $apower generation 610 $apreisach model 610 $aPVDF 610 $aPVDF fibers 610 $arenewable energy 610 $asnap-through motion 610 $athermal energy harvesting 610 $athermoelectric generator (TEG) 610 $athermomagnetic energy generators 610 $athrough-thickness thermal gradient 610 $atransition metal modification 610 $atriboelectric effect 610 $aUV-Vis absorption 610 $avariable-speed 610 $avirtual instrument 610 $avon Mises stress 610 $awaste heat recovery 610 $awearable 610 $awidth shapes 610 $awind energy harvesting 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aDavino$b Daniele$4edt$0383599 702 $aDavino$b Daniele$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557621403321 996 $aSmart Materials and Devices for Energy Harvesting$93032088 997 $aUNINA
