This paper presents a low cost solution for vibrational energy harvesting based on a bistable
clamped-clamped polyethylene terephthalate (PET) beam and two piezoelectric …

We present a novel methodology for magnetic field sensing by exploiting surface plasmon
resonance (SPR) sensors based on D-shaped plastic optical fiber (POF) and magnetic fluids …

This paper covers a novel methodology for the realization of devices that are able to harvest
energy from background mechanical vibrations. The novelties reside in the nonlinear …

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

Emergent behavior in complex networks can be predicted and analyzed via the mechanism
of spontaneous symmetry-breaking bifurcation, in which solutions of related bifurcation …

This paper is focused on the exploitation of intrinsic nonlinear dynamics toward novel
measurement systems and readout methodologies. In particular, sensors that can be …

We consider rings of coupled phase oscillators with anisotropic coupling. When the coupling
is skew-symmetric, ie, when the anisotropy is balanced in a specific way, the system shows …

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 rich dynamical behavior stemming from unidirectional coupling in a single array of
overdamped nonlinear elements has, recently, been extensively studied. By adjusting …

In this paper, we investigate the exploitation of nonlinear behavior in ferroelectric (FE)
materials in the realization of innovative transducers for detecting weak and low-frequency …
