Energy harvesting from the nonlinear oscillations of magnetic levitation
Brian P. Mann,Neil D. Sims +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the design and analysis of a novel energy harvesting device that uses magnetic levitation to produce an oscillator with a tunable resonance and derived the governing equations for the mechanical and electrical domains to show the designed system reduces to the form of a Duffing oscillator under both static and dynamic loads.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear dynamics for broadband energy harvesting: Investigation of a bistable piezoelectric inertial generator
TL;DR: In this paper, a bistable inertial oscillator comprised of permanent magnets and a piezoelectric cantilever beam is used to demonstrate enhanced capabilities and new challenges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reversible hysteresis for broadband magnetopiezoelastic energy harvesting
TL;DR: In this paper, both hardening and softening response within the quadratic potential field of a power generating piezoelectric beam (with a permanent magnet end mass) is invoked by tuning nonlinear magnetic interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stability of Interrupted Cutting by Temporal Finite Element Analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the problem of predicting stability in interrupted cutting is solved by matching the free response with an approximate solution that is valid white the tool is cutting, which can be used to predict stability for arbitrary times in the cut; the current method is applicable only to a single degree of freedom.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigations of a nonlinear energy harvester with a bistable potential well
TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear energy harvester that uses magnetic interactions to create an inertial generator with a bistable potential well was investigated, and both theoretical and experimental tests show that the potential well escape phenomenon can be used to broaden the frequency response of an EH generator.
