Nonlinear energy harvesting has a better performance than linear resonators, because realistic ambient vibrations are spread over a wide frequency spectrum. We present a broadband nonlinear energy harvester with internal resonance induced by two resonators. Each resonator contains a cantilever beam with a magnet tip, and one is partially covered by piezoelectric material. The perturbation method of multiple scales is used to solve coupled partial different equations by applying internal resonance of ratio 2:1. The shooting method validates the analytical solutions of the frequency response and output voltage numerically. Output voltage for different excitation levels and distances are investigated. Simulations show the design, by applying internal resonance and nonlinearity, increases the bandwidth of frequency response.

Energy Harvesters

This paper aims to investigate the response and characterize the effective frequency bandwidth of tri-stable vibratory energy harvesters. To achieve this goal, the method of multiple scales is utilized to construct analytical solutions describing the amplitude and stability of the intra- and inter-well dynamics of the harvester. Using these solutions, critical bifurcations in the parameter’s space are identified and used to define an effective frequency bandwidth of the harvester. A piezoelectric tri-stable energy harvester consisting of a uni-morph cantilever beam is considered. Stiffness nonlinearities are introduced into the harvesters design by applying a static magnetic field near the tip of the beam. Experimental studies performed on the harvester are presented to validate some of the theoretical findings.

Amplitude Frequency Response

Internal resonance is explored as a possible mechanism to enhance vibration-based energy harvesting. An electromagnetic device with snap-through nonlinearity is proposed as an archetype of an internal resonance energy harvester. Based on the equations governing the vibration measured from a stable equilibrium position, the method of multiple scales is applied to derive the amplitude–frequency response relationships of the displacement and the power in the first primary resonances with the two-to-one internal resonance. The amplitude–frequency response curves have two peaks bending to the left and the right, respectively. The numerical simulations support the analytical results. Then the averaged power is calculated under the Gaussian white noise, the narrow-band noise, the colored noise defined by a second-order filter, and the exponentially correlated noise. The results demonstrate numerically that the internal resonance design produces more power than other designs under the Gaussian white noise and the exponentially correlated noise. Besides, the internal resonance energy harvester can outperform the linear energy harvesters with the same natural frequencies and in the same size under Gaussian white noise.

Abstract In this paper, the Method of Multiple Scales, and the Reduced Order Model method of two modes of vibration are used to investigate the amplitude-frequency response of parametric resonance of electrostatically actuated circular plates under hard excitations. Results show that the Method of Multiple Scales is accurate for low voltages. However, it starts to separate from the Reduced Order Model results as the voltage values are larger. The Method of Multiple Scales is good for low amplitudes and weak non-linearities. Furthermore the Reduced Order Model running with AUTO 07p is validated and calibrated using the 2 Term ROM time responses.

Recently, it has been demonstrated that a Vibro-Impact type Nonlinear Energy Sink (VI-NES) can be used efficiently to mitigate vibration of a Linear Oscillator (LO) under transient loading. In this paper, the dynamic response of an harmonically forced LO, strongly coupled to a VI-NES is investigated theoretically and experimentally. Due to the small mass ratio between the LO and the flying mass of the NES, the obtained equation of motion are analyzed using the method of multiple scales in the case of 1 : 1 resonance. It is shown that in addition to periodic response, system with VI-NES can exhibit Strongly Modulated Response (SMR). Experimentally, the whole system is embedded on an electrodynamic shaker. The VI-NES is realized with a ball which is free to move in a cavity with a predesigned gap. The mass of the ball is less than 1% of the mass of the LO. The experiment confirms the existence of periodic and SMR response regimes. A good agreement between theoretical and experimental results is observed.

In the stage of modelling, measuring, mechanical processing and manufacturing of the nonlinear energy harvesting system, deviations and errors of system parameters are inevitable. Even slight variation of key parameters may have a significant influence on the output voltages, especially for the multi-stable nonlinear case. Therefore, the investigation of dynamic behaviors for the tristable energy harvesting system with uncertain parameters is of important value both for research and application. In this paper, the uncertainty of a tristable piezoelectric vibration energy harvester with a random coefficient ahead of the nonlinear term is studied. By using the Chebyshev polynomial approximation, this tristable energy harvesting system is first reduced into an equivalent deterministic form, the ensemble mean responses of which are derived to exhibit the stochastic behaviors. The periodic and chaotic motions, bifurcations and crises under different conditions are analyzed. The results show that the output voltage is sensitive to the uncertainty of the nonlinear coefficient, which leads to unstable behavior around the bifurcation and crisis points particularly. Exploring the influence pattern of uncertain parameters on the output voltage and avoiding the unstable parameter intervals are essential for optimizing the structure. It can further improve the efficiency of the nonlinear energy harvesting system.

The Difference

The forced nonlinear dynamics of a pre-buckled thermally loaded annular plate are investigated. The plate is modeled using the von Ka´rma´n plate theory and the heat equation. The heat, which is generated by the difference between the uniformly distributed temperatures at the inner and outer boundaries, is assumed to symmetrically flow in the radial direction. The amount of heat affects the natural frequencies, which may give rise to different internal resonance conditions. The method of multiple scales is used to examine the system axisymmetric responses when it is driven by an external multi-frequency excitation. The plate responses could be very complex exhibiting Hopf and cyclic-fold bifurcations, quasi-periodicity, chaos, and multiplicity of attractors.

This paper deals with amplitude-frequency response of electrostatic nanotube nanotweezer device system. Soft alternating current (AC) of frequency near natural frequency actuates the nanotubes. This leads the system into parametric resonance. The Method of Multiple Scales (MMS) in which the nonlinear electrostatic and van der Waals forces are expanded in Taylor series is used to compare two expansions, one up to third power and the other up to fifth power. The frequency response of the system is reported and the effects of van der Waals forces, electrostatic forces, and damping forces on the frequency response are investigated.
