The increasing demand for data and the rapid increase in number of wireless connected devices make shortage energy spectrum resources more serious. This paper considers a powered communication network (WPCN) composed N (WDs) installed with single-antenna hybrid access point (HAP) equipped multi-antenna, where HAP sends to WDs downlink receives information transmission from uplink. To overcome “...

This paper aims at providing an up-to-date review of nonlinear electronic interfaces for energy harvesting from mechanical vibrations using piezoelectric coupling. The basic principles and the direct application to energy harvesting of nonlinear treatment of the output voltage of the transducers for conversion enhancement will be recalled, and extensions of this approach presented. Latest advan...

In this study, considering the importance of how to exploit renewable natural resources, we analyzea shing model with nonlinear harvesting function in which the players at the equilibrium pointdo a static game with complete information that, according to the calculations, will cause a wasteof energy for both players and so the selection of cooperative strategies along with the...

• A new energy harvester using vibro-impact nonlinear sink is proposed. Vibro-impact induced targeted transfer improves significantly the efficiency. The optimal harvesting efficiency resides in regimes with 1–2 impacts per cycle. VINES provides high density and robust over a certain level of noise. potential (VINES) investigated. Applying Signorini’s contact law, non-smooth dynamics first form...

STONEHENGE is a toolbox designed to evaluate nonlinear vibration-based energy harvesting systems, which demand careful studies regarding their nontrivial behavior. It composed of an ensemble codes study and characterize the dynamic behavior, as well deal with varieties physical parameters excitation. For this, it has six modules, initial value problem, animation, tools, sensitivity analysis, st...
