In order to reduce the cropping force and enhance the cropping cross-section quality, a new type of cropping machine is proposed in this paper. The basic structure and working principle of the cropping machine are introduced. Based on D'Alembert's principle, the vibration equations of the cropping machine along the Y direction, X direction and around X, Y, Z axis are built in detail and the mot...

Future deployment of wireless sensor networks will ultimately require a self-sustainable local power source for each sensor, and vibration energy harvesting is a promising approach for such applications. A requirement for efficient vibration energy harvesting is to match the device and source frequencies. While techniques to tune the resonance frequency of an energy harvesting device have recen...
