Scavenging energy from low-frequency and low-level excitations has always been a huge
challenge for the piezoelectric energy harvesting since the frequencies of ambient …

Magnetic levitation has been used to implement low-cost and maintenance-free
electromagnetic energy harvesting. The ability of levitation-based harvesting systems to …

It is difficult for a conventional bistable energy harvester (CBEH) to form inter-well motion
under a weak excitation, resulting in a narrow output bandwidth. In this paper, a bistable …

This paper focuses on the transient nonlinear dynamics and targeted energy transfer (TET)
of a Bernoulli–Euler beam coupled to a continuous bistable nonlinear energy sink (NES) …
