Taking advantage of undesirable ambient vibration resources, vibration-based energy
harvesters (VEHs) aim to power smart electronic devices by converting kinetic energy into …

This paper was written in honor of Prof. Viktor Olimpanovich Kononenko from Ukraine and
takes into account reports of recent progress about non-ideal vibrating systems (NIS) …

Internal resonance is explored as a possible mechanism to enhance the bandwidth of
vibratory energy harvesters. To demonstrate the improved performance, an axially loaded …

Forced vibrations of the system are, usually, theoretically considered under influence of a
periodical force whose frequency and amplitude are constant. The force is assumed to be …

In the few decades, the study of electro-mechanical systems which are capable to extract
energy from an operating system in the environment has been of most importance. In this …

In this paper, we consider a piezoelectric beams system with magnetic effects and delay
term. We study its long-time behavior through the associated dynamical system. We prove …

Abstract An optimal Intensity Measure (IM) is key to accurate prediction of the Engineering
Demand Parameters (EDPs) in structures subjected to seismic excitations. This study …

Buoy systems are an alternative for micropowering small devices in remote locations. Portal
frames are very useful to harvest the energy of the waves into usable energy. Thus, using …

In this study, amphiphilic polymers were investigated as biomaterials that can control
dexamethasone (DXM) release. Such materials present interfacial properties in the …

We investigate the dynamical behavior of a non-ideal Duffing oscillator, a system composed
of a mass–spring–pendulum driven by a DC motor with limited power supply. To identify …
