A low energy dissipation circuit is proposed to achieve more effective energy harvesting, called 'synchronized switch harvesting on inductor (SSHI)'. The proposed circuit only has two diodes, while the original SSHI circuit has four diodes compris...
A novel self-sensing method using piezoelectric actuators for semi-active vibration suppression is proposed and investigated. By using extended system equations, this self-sensing method can be implemented with a Kalman filter instead of the conve...
We conducted various investigations of energy-recycling semi-active vibration suppression by using piezoelectric transducers attached to structures. In this method, the converted electrical energy is recycled to suppress the vibration of structure...
