    Part Time Engineering Job do those even exist?

    Hi, I'm doing my masters in mechanical engineering at the moment and I was talking to a classmate of mine the other day. He was telling me about finding a part time engineering job while he completes his studies. I told him I was doubtful those exists at all, but it sounded like a good idea. So...

    Base Vibration excitation of Cantilever Beam

    Hi, I've been trying to simulate the power output of a piezoelectric layer on a cantilever beam undergoing base excitation. In the paper I'm trying to duplicate their ANSYS model has a base displacement of 0.1mm and uses a harmonic analysis to sweep the frequencies. My question is, How do I...

    Piezoelectric Bimorph

    Hi, I am trying to create a cantilever piezoelectric bimorph. I have successfully created the structure and found the master nodes of the electrodes. I am trying to connect the bimorph with a parallel circuit. My load is just a single resistor. One end has to connect to the middle electrode and...

    D33 mode Piezoelectric Generator

    I was reading some papers about pizeoelectric generators and I came across some examples where the 33 mode was used. The design was a cantilever beam with some piezoelectric material on top and Interdigitated electrodes placed on top of that. I know how to simulate a 31 piezoelectric generator...
