Cylindrical Free-Standing Mode Triboelectric Generator for Suspension System in Vehicle

Discrete-time sliding mode control for MR vehicle suspension system

Cylindrical rotating triboelectric nanogenerator.

We demonstrate a cylindrical rotating triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) based on sliding electrification for harvesting mechanical energy from rotational motion. The rotating TENG is based on a core-shell structure that is made of distinctly different triboelectric materials with alternative strip structures on the surface. The charge transfer is strengthened with the formation of polymer nano...

Interface-Free Area-Scalable Self-Powered Electroluminescent System Driven by Triboelectric Generator

Self-powered system that is interface-free is greatly desired for area-scalable application. Here we report a self-powered electroluminescent system that consists of a triboelectric generator (TEG) and a thin-film electroluminescent (TFEL) lamp. The TEG provides high-voltage alternating electric output, which fits in well with the needs of the TFEL lamp. Induced charges pumped onto the lamp by ...

Triboelectric-generator-driven pulse electrodeposition for micropatterning.

By converting ambient energy into electricity, energy harvesting is capable of at least offsetting, or even replacing, the reliance of small portable electronics on traditional power supplies, such as batteries. Here we demonstrate a novel and simple generator with extremely low cost for efficiently harvesting mechanical energy that is typically present in the form of vibrations and random disp...

Robust Adaptive Sliding Mode Controller for Semi-active Vehicle Suspension System

For the tracking control problem of vehicle suspension, a robust design method of adaptive sliding mode control is derived in this paper. The influence of parameter uncertainties and external disturbances on the system performance can be reduced and system robustness can be improved. The adaptive sliding mode controller is designed so that the practical system can track the state of the referen...
