Abstract :	[en] A monolithic approach is proposed that provides simultaneous modelling and analysis of the harvester, which involves surface- coupled fluid-structure interaction, volume-coupled electro- mechanics and a controlling energy harvesting circuit for applica- tions in energy harvesting. A space-time finite element approximation is used for numerical solution of the weighted residual form of the governing equations of the flow-driven piezoelectric energy harvesting device. This method enables time-domain investigation of different types of structures (plate, shells) subject to exterior/interior flow with varying cross sections, material compositions, and attached electrical circuits with respect to the electrical power output generated.
