During his thesis, he analyzed the piezoelectric aeroelastic energy harvester analytically, numerically, and as well as experimentally to get in-depth knowledge. The main theme of his Ph.D. work is:In the present era, the possibility to generate electrical energy from an operational environment is a critical factor for the aerospace industry, particularly to drive nano/micro-electronic components. In this research, a solution for the energy harvesting mechanism based on fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is investigated via numerical and experimental campaigns. The possibility to harvest energy from Limit Cycle Oscillations (LCOs) by means of piezoelectric transduction is investigated. A typical condition for energy harvesting, which requires a strong interaction between the external energy and the components where the harvester is embedded. Moreover, the flutter instability of a cantilevered flag with piezoelectric (PZT) and Aluminium (Al) patches, subjected to an axial flow has been numerically and experimentally investigated. The practical interest of this instability mechanism, which can lead to self-sustained oscillations, is the possible application in flow energy harvesting. The presented model is suitable to harvest energy and to drive wireless sensors. Show less
