The tristable energy harvesters (TEH) can achieve broadband energy harvesting
performance from low frequency and low level excitations. Previous studies mainly focused …

Disorder in parameters appears to influence the collective behavior of complex adaptive
networks in ways that might seem unconventional. For instance, heterogeneities may …

The advent of novel engineered or smart materials, whose properties can be significantly
altered in a controlled fashion by external stimuli, has stimulated the design and fabrication …

Symmetry is used to investigate the existence and stability of collective patterns of
oscillations in rings of coupled crystal oscillators. We assume N identical crystal oscillators …

The coupled cell formalism is a systematic way to represent and study coupled nonlinear
differential equations using directed graphs. In this work, we focus on coupled cell systems …

A large class of dynamic sensors have nonlinear input-output characteristics, often
corresponding to a bistable potential energy function that controls the evolution of the sensor …

In this paper, we proposed an electromagnetic vibration energy harvester with a
diamagnetic levitation structure, which consists of a lifting magnet, two highly oriented …

Precise time dissemination and synchronization have been some of the most important
technological tasks for several centuries. It was realized that precise time-keeping devices …

The dynamics of a system of coupled crystal oscillators (CCOST) is examined with the aim of
developing a stable precision timing device. Symmetry is used to establish the existence …

Gyroscopes are mechanical device for measuring and maintaining orientation. Advances in
manufacturing techniques in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) allow for mass …
