Abstract EN
The harvesting of electrical energy generated from the flutter phenomenon of a plate wing is studied using the quasi-steady aerodynamic theory and the finite element method.
The example of supersonic flutter structure comes from sounding rockets’ wings.
Electrical energy is harvested from supersonic flutter by using piezoelectric patches and switching devices.
In order to evaluate the harvesting performance, we simulate flutter dynamics of the plate wing to which piezoelectric patches are attached.
We demonstrate that our harvesting system can generate much more electrical energy from wing flutter than conventional harvesting systems can.
This flutter utilization changes our perception to a useful one in various fruitful applications from a destructive phenomenon.
