Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Lecture / Presentation Description
In order to power microcontrollers and low-power wireless communication hardware to monitor and control remotely located processes, a piezoelectric rotary energy harvester was designed. A ring shaped sheet of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) separated into four poled quadrants is bonded to an elastic aluminum substrate. Spinning low-friction impingers deflect the stationary disk and cause the piezoelectric segments to slightly deflect and generate voltage. The design’s voltage responses are modeled using MAPLE and then verified through prototyping and proper data acquisition. The effect of the number and configuration of segments, the magnitude of the force applied, and the addition of alternating polarity within the PVDF segments to generate a traveling wave are additionally examined.
