The work in this study explores the excitation of high-frequency dynamic instabilities to enhance the performance of a strongly nonlinear vibration-based energy harvesting system subject to repeated impulsive excitations. These high-fraequency instabilities arise from transient resonance captures (TRCs) in the damped dynamics of the system, leading to large-amplitude oscillations in the mechanical system. Under proper forcing conditions, these high-frequency instabilities can be sustained. The primary system is composed of a grounded, weakly damped linear oscillator, which is directly subjected to impulsive forcing. A light-weight, damped nonlinear oscillator (nonlinear energy sink, NES) is coupled to the primary system using electromechanical coupling elements and strongly nonlinear stiffness elements. The essential (nonlinearizable) stiffness nonlinearity arises from geometric and kinematic effects resulting from the traverse deflection of a piano wire coupling the two oscillators. The electromechanical coupling is composed of a neodymium magnet and inductance coil, which harvests the energy in the mechanical system and transfers it to the electrical system which, in this present case, is composed of a simple resistive element. The energy dissipated in the circuit is inferred as a measure of energy harvesting capability. The large-amplitude TRCs result in strong, nearly irreversible energy transfer from the primary system to the NES, where the harvesting elements work to convert the mechanical energy to electrical energy. The primary goal of this work is to numerically and experimentally demonstrate the efficacy of inducing sustained high-frequency dynamic instability in a system of mechanical oscillators to achieve enhanced vibration energy harvesting performance. This work is a continuation of a companion paper (Remick K, Quinn D, McFarland D, et al. (2015) Journal of Sound and Vibration Final Publication) where vibration energy harvesting of the same system subject to single impulsive excitation is studied.

This paper develops and experimentally evaluates a dither-based method for improved generation of arbitrary signals in digital-to-analogue converters that exhibits glitches --- essentially converting the glitches from high-frequency to low-frequency disturbances. One major benefit of this behaviour appears in closed-loop control applications, as the glitch disturbance can be moved from outside control law bandwidth to inside control law bandwidth, enabling suppression by feedback. A behavioural model of glitches is presented and the effect of applying a dither signal is analysed in detail. Analytical and experimental results demonstrate that a dither signal with sufficiently large amplitude can mitigate the effect of glitches, when used in conjunction with a low-pass filter. Severe glitches appear in various digital-to-analogue converter topologies, including converter topologies that are used in high-precision motion control applications, such as adaptive optics and scanning force microscopy. Glitches introduce impulse-like disturbances which have a broadband frequency distribution. Low-pass filtering alone does not provide sufficient attenuation, and in applications with feedback control only frequency content within the control law bandwidth is attenuated. Hence, a high-frequency disturbance such as a glitch will not be suppressed. The use of dithering to suppress glitches is therefore beneficial in applications where errors in signal conversion are a primary concern, such as high-precision motion control or accurate reference signal generation.

This paper describes a new time marching calculation of blade surface cavitation based on a linearized free streamline theory using a singularity method. In this calculation, closed cavity models for partial and super cavities are combined to simulate the transitional cavity oscillation between partial and super cavities. The results for an isolated hydrofoil located in a 2-D channel are presented. Although the re-entrant jet is not taken into account, the transitional cavity oscillation with large amplitude, which is known to occur when the cavity length exceeds 75 percent of the chord length, was simulated fairly well. The partial cavity oscillation with relatively high frequency was simulated as damping oscillations. The frequency of the damping oscillation agrees with that of a stability analysis and of experiments. The present calculation can be easily extended to simulate other cavity instabilities in pumps or cascades.
