Multi-Objective Design Optimization of Fractal-based Piezoelectric Energy Harvester
Paper in proceeding, 2021

This paper studies optimization solutions for a proof-of-concept design methodology for a fractal-based tree energy harvester with a stress distribution optimized structure. The focus is on obtaining a sufficiently high-power output and a high enough stress in the longitudinal branch direction by using Frequency Response Functions. The design methodology shows that using the MATLAB code with Sensitivity Analysis and Multi-objective Optimization in combination with elitist genetic algorithm enables an optimal design.
