Abstract
Piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) appears as a prominent field, as it helps to provide enough energy to run small electronics or MEMS. Contemporary patents on PEH systems for aerospace ap-plications, mainly focus on different design geometries or location of PEH on the host structure. In this study a novel combination of piezoelectric harvesters and composite panels are proposed. Series of piezoelectric harvesters are embedded into the cell structure of a composite sandwich panel. The system is expected to provide enough power to run structural health monitoring sensors of an aircraft.
