Development of an explicit theoretical model for the system with the PFU-EH, considering phase angle shifts and magnetic impulsive forces is proposed to formulate the frequency response equations for voltage and power outputs using Fourier analysis. In this study, harvesting electrical energy can be achieved through the magnetic force interaction between the cantilevered piezoelectric beam, which carries two attached magnets, and the compound rotating disk structure, also carrying two attached magnets. The compound rotating disk structure, composed of a metal ring (outer disk) and a flywheel (inner disk) connected by a spring system, can create a phase angle caused by an applied load. As a result, mechanical torque is formed for inducing magnetic excitation to the PFU-EH and subsequently generating an AC voltage signal. The functionality of the AC voltage harvested by the PFU-EH can be further leveraged for two primary benefits. First, it can be converted into DC voltage output using the SECE circuit, enhancing the effectiveness of the electric signal without requiring load matching under different modal vibrations. Second, the SECE harvesting voltage can simultaneously function as a sensing signal for detecting mechanical torque itself. The sensing signal detection process is further analyzed by applying feature extraction from the spectrogram and utilizing a 2D-CNN for auxiliary segment identification. Finally, the experimental results demonstrate reasonable agreement with the predicted outcomes.false2D-CNNBroadband energy harvestingFrequency up-conversionMagnetic excitationMultifunctional piezoelectric deviceSECE[SDGs]SDG7journal article10.1016/j.ymssp.2024.1116262-s2.0-85196428502
