Surfing the high energy output branch of nonlinear energy harvesters

D Mallick, A Amann, S Roy - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
Hysteresis and multistability are fundamental phenomena of driven nonlinear oscillators,
which, however, restrict many applications such as mechanical energy harvesting. We …

Controlling multistability in a vibro-impact capsule system

Y Liu, J Paez Chavez - Nonlinear Dynamics, 2017 - Springer
This work concerns the control of multistability in a vibro-impact capsule system driven by a
harmonic excitation. The capsule is able to move forward and backward in a rectilinear …

Self-balance characteristics of the vibrating system with four split-driving vibrators

W Hu, Z Cheng, X Zhang, J Zhang, B Wen - Nonlinear Dynamics, 2024 - Springer
The isolation vibration design for a self-synchronous vibrating system is challenging
because the realization of the system's function depends on itself vibrating. We propose a …
