Experimental study of the effect of hydrodynamic coupling of micro-cantilever array on the dynamic response of micro-cantilever

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of hydrodynamic coupling of a micro-cantilever array on the dynamic response of a CCA was investigated, and it was shown that the quality factor of an operating CCA can be controlled by changing the phase and magnitude of excitation force on auxiliary cantevers, and varying the gap between auxiliarycantevers and operating cantever.

Reliability of the bi-stable piezoelectric energy harvester under random excitation

TL;DR: In this article , the reliability of a bi-stable piezoelectric energy harvester excited by Gaussian white noise is investigated and the conditional reliability function and the mean first-passage time are derived through the backward Kolmogorov equation and the generalized Pontryagin equation associated with the averaged stochastic differential equation.
