A nonlinear energy sink with energy harvester
(2014-12-11)The transfer of energy between systems is a natural process, manifesting in many different ways. In engineering transferable energy can be considered wanted or un- wanted. Specifically in mechanical systems, energy transfer ... -
Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting with a Nonlinear Energy Sink
(2016)Energy transfer from one system to another system, or vice versa, is happening constantly in many processes with various forms. Vibration in machines or structures can be considered as a form of energy transfer from a ... -
Simultaneous vibration suppression and energy harvesting with a non-traditional vibration absorber
(2017)The dynamic vibration absorber, or tuned mass damper, has been one of the most commonly used passive vibration control devices over the past hundred years. With an optimally designed vibration absorber, significant vibration ... -
Vibration suppression and energy harvesting with a variant nonlinear energy sink
(2018)Vibration control is aimed to suppress or eliminate unwanted vibration to ensure proper operation of machines. On the other hand, energy harvesting intends to scavenge energy from ambient vibrations to power electronical ...
