Time-independent harmonics dispersion relation for time-evolving nonlinear waves

Submitted by mihussein on

"We present a theory for the dispersion of generated harmonics in a traveling nonlinear wave. The harmonics dispersion relation (HDR), derived by the theory, provides direct and exact prediction of the collective harmonics spectrum in the frequency–wave number domain and does so without prior knowledge of the u = u(x, t) solution. It is valid throughout the evolution of a distorting unbalanced wave or the steady-steady propagation of a balanced wave with waveform invariance.

Energy-harvesting availability: An intrinsic "material-level" measure of piezoelectric energy harvesting performance

Submitted by mihussein on

A new performance measure in piezoelectricity! This paper presents the notion of "energy-harvesting availability" -- an intrinsic material-level measure for piezoelectric energy-harvesting characterization. This contrasts with the prevailing approach of extrinsic characterization done at the structural or device levels.
