Nowadays, harvesting energy from vibration is one of the most promising technologies.
However, the majority of current researches obtain 10 µW to 100 mW power, which has only …

This paper concerns the design of feedback control systems to maximize power generation
of a wave energy converter (WEC) in a random sea. In the literature on WEC control, most of …

In this paper, recent published techniques for vibration energy harvesting with piezoelectric
materials have been summarized. The various techniques described are classified in terms …

Preference information (such as the reference point) of the decision maker (DM) is often
used in multiobjective optimization; however, the location of the specified reference point …

Much work has been conducted on vibration absorbers, such as tuned mass dampers
(TMD), where significant energy is extracted from a structure. Traditionally, this energy is …

In order for an electromagnetic transducer to operate well as either a mechanical shunt
damper or as a vibration energy harvester, it must have good electromechanical coupling. A …

This paper proposes a technique for optimizing the power generated from stationary
stochastic vibratory disturbances, using a resonant energy harvester. Although the theory is …

Evolutionary multi-objective optimization (EMO) methodologies have been widely applied to
find a well-distributed trade-off solutions approximating to the Pareto-optimal front in the past …

This article illustrates that certain relatively well-known results from feedback control theory
can be used to determine the maximum-attainable power generation for a vibratory energy …

A self-powered piezoelectric vibration control system is proposed and investigated for
flexible structures in this paper. The objective of the system is to minimize the vibration of the …
