Design strategies for stack-based piezoelectric energy harvesters near bridge bearings

FE data contains the Ansys Mechanical APDL input files (*.txt) and the recorded time series results for the different load cases and stiffnesses of the COMBIN14 element representing the piezoelectric Energy harvesting system (*.csv). A "," is used as a delimiter between the individual columns and a "." is used as the decimal separator. In addition the simulation results used to generate the figures 10, 12, 13 and 14 are provided as MATLAB *.mat files containing input Parameters, time series data and the converted energy. The traffic data is available from the Bundesamt für Strassenwesen (BaSt) online: https://www.bast.de/DE/ 352 Verkehrstechnik/Fachthemen/v2-verkehrszaehlung/Aktuell/zaehl_aktuell_node.html?cms_detail=9237&cms_map=0 (accessed on 5 May 2025).
