To progress the proficiency and broaden action bandwidth of vibration energy harvesters, this paper presents a cantilever piezoelectric-magnetostrictive bistable hybrid harvester with dynamic magnifier. The energy-harvesting system comprises two degrees freedom electrical freedom. It consists composite beam made three layers, in which magnetostrictive piezoelectric layers are attached to top bo...

This paper presents the results of numerical simulations a nonlinear bistable system for harvesting energy from ambient vibrating mechanical sources. Detailed model tests were carried out on an inertial consisting piezoelectric beam with additional springs attached. The mathematical was derived using bond graph approach. Depending spring selection, shape potential wells modified including remov...

Simultaneous vibration control and energy harvesting of vehicle suspensions have attracted significant research attention over the past decades. However, existing shock absorbers (EHSAs) compromise suspension performance for high-efficiency being only responsive to narrow-bandwidth vibrations. In this paper, we propose a new ball-screw-based EHSA design – inerter pendulum absorber (IPVA) that i...
