Research title: Transient simulation of triboelectric nanogenerators considering surface roughness

Research summary

Research Interest: 

  • Triboelectric Nanogenerator (TENG)
  • Finite Element Modelling (FEM)
  • Surface roughness  
  • Green Energy Harvesting

Ongoing Research:

  • 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 needs 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 that considers the coupling of solid mechanics, surface roughness, and material behaviour at contact interfaces.  To achieve these goals, the project will also develop a novel computational framework based on the finite element methods (FEM) using the computational capabilities of MoFEM and GCEC.
