The chief point of the present study is to analyze numerically the surface stress effects on the nonlinear dynamic performance of nanosized lightweight piezoelectric bridge-type energy harvesters having agglomerated nanocomposite passive bulk. In this regard, the Gurtin-Murdoch continuum elasticity...
