Abstract: Electromagnetic (EM) energy harvesters have been proposed in civil engineering for simultaneous energy scavenging and structural vibration mitigation. One important component governing the performance of EM energy harvester ...

Abstract: This study investigates the dynamic and nonlinear behavior of an eddy current (EC) damping mechanism by using shaking table tests and finite-element modeling. A noncontact and friction-free EC damper is firstly designed ...

Abstract: This study investigates the use of electromagnetic (EM) energy harvesters for the dual purpose of energy scavenging and vibration mitigation of seismically isolated structures during earthquake excitation. Specifically, ...
