In this article, a piezoelectric energy harvesting device is modeled as a bimorph cantilevered beam, with an intermediate metallic substrate, under plane strain hypothesis. The profile is then optimized by using the Bidirectional Evolutionary Structural Optimization (BESO) method under static loading conditions. Important parameters of the optimization process are varied and the results are displayed and analyzed.
