• Transient Simulation of Triboelectric Nano-Generators Considering Surface Roughness

The world is edging closer to a reality where smart devices can use their owners as an energy resource. In this regard, TENG steps ahead because these energy-harvesting devices can utilize contact electrification and electrostatic induction to transform kinetic energy into electricity. But to accelerate the process, an accurate analytical (i.e. FEM) approach need to be developed to withstand complex TENG problems and we also need a reliable tool to accelerate the design, optimisation and prototyping process of modern TENG.

So, this research aims to improve the characteristics of TENG by developing an accurate multiscale, non-linear and time-dependent Finite Element Model considering the coupling of Solid Mechanics, surface roughness and material behaviour in contact interfaces.  To achieve this, the project will also develop a novel computational framework based on the finite element methods(FEM) using the computational capabilities of MoFEM and GCEC.
