Abstract: This talk will review our recent efforts on the leveraging of phononic crystals in structure-borne wave energy harvesting. The two approaches of interest for elastic wave energy focusing and harvesting are the use of lens and mirror structures. In the first lens scenario, we will discuss our computational and experimental results on the focusing and harvesting of plane waves by means of a Gradient-Index (GRIN) Phononic Crystal (PC) lens. The proposed GRIN-PC lens is formed by an array of blind holes with different diameters. The blind hole distribution is tailored to obtain a hyperbolic secant profile of refractive index for the lowest antisymmetric Lamb wave mode. The second lens concept is an omnidirectional PC Luneburg lens with hexagonal unit cells hosting blind holes, and it alleviates the directivity issue owing to its axisymmetric refractive index profile. In both of these GRIN-PC lens concepts, a piezoelectric energy harvester located at the focus yields an order of magnitude larger electrical power as compared to the baseline case of harvesting on the flat plate. Another GRIN-PC lens configuration we will discuss is a 3D-printed lens domain of nylon stubs with different heights to achieve the required refractive index profile. We will also review our structurally-embedded mirror (SEM) concepts for the reflective focusing and energy harvesting in a flat aluminum plate hosting blind holes with metallic (e.g. tungsten) inclusions. The relationship between SEM geometry and wavelength is unveiled in order to minimize the energy in the side lobes near the focus. The frequency dependence of the reflection coefficient of embedded spherical inclusions is also investigated to understand the limitations of the approach due to transmission resonances of the inclusions. Dramatic enhancement of the harvested power (by an order of magnitude) is validated experimentally using an elliptical SEM made from spherical tungsten inclusions in an aluminum plate. Finally, low-frequency lens and mirror concepts using locally resonant unit cells will be discussed.
