The tristable characteristics are mostly used in the field of energy harvesting and vibration
isolator, but are rarely devoted to in the field of vibration absorption. In this paper, a tristable …

This paper presents the design, theoretical modelling and experimental validation of a quad-
stable energy harvester for harnessing ultra-low frequency random motions using a …

As well known, the vibration reduction efficiency of the nonlinear energy sink (NES) is poor
under strong excitation. In this paper, a tristable NES (TNES) is proposed. The TNES can …

Converting the wasted ambient vibration to electric power, using a piezoelectric energy
harvester, is a promising strategy for powering a sensor network for medical and industrial …

In this study, a quasi-zero stiffness energy harvesting backpack (QZS-EHB) is proposed. The
bistable quasi-zero stiffness mechanism is constructed by paralleling a pair of positive …

The bionic structure has great potential in the field of energy harvesting. Inspired by the
fluttering structure of dipteran insects, this paper proposes a novel bionic multi-domain …

Previous broadband energy harvester techniques met many challenges like output power
with a sharp peak, small enhancement in bandwidth, and large dimensions and weights …

The main drawback of energy harvesting using the piezoelectric direct effect is that the
maximum electric power is generated at the fundamental resonance frequency. This can …

This study investigates the effects of nonlinear modal interactions on a piezoelectric energy
harvester, specifically focusing on the absence of externally induced magnetic …

The fault features of rolling bearings under time-varying speed conditions (TVSCs) are often
submerged in strong noise. For one thing, the system parameters of stochastic resonance …
