Prospects for Nonlinear Energy Harvesting Systems Designed Near the Elastic Stability Limit When Driven by Colored Noise
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Ambient vibration sources in many prime energy harvesting applications are characterized as having stochastic response with spectra concentrated at low frequencies and steadily reduced power density as frequency increases ...
Axial Suspension Compliance and Compression for Enhancing Performance of a Nonlinear Vibration Energy Harvesting Beam System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Developing energy harvesting platforms that are strongly sensitive to the low and diffused frequency spectra of common environmental vibration sources is a research objective receiving great recent attention. It has been ...
A Disturbance Cancellation Perspective on Vibration Control Using a Bistable Snap Through Attachment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: One approach to vibration control is to apply a force to a primary structure that opposes the excitation, effectively canceling the external disturbance. A familiar passive example of this approach is the lineartuned mass ...
Enhancing Structural Damage Identification Robustness to Noise and Damping With Integrated Bistable and Adaptive Piezoelectric Circuitry
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The accurate and reliable identification of damage in modern engineered structures is essential for timely corrective measures. Vibrationbased damage prediction has been studied extensively by virtue of its global damage ...
Adaptation of Energy Dissipation in a Mechanical Metastable Module Excited Near Resonance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent studies have demonstrated that the energetic vibrations of strategically designed negative stiffness inclusions may lead to large and adaptable damping in structural/material systems. Many researchers examine these ...
Energy Harvester Synthesis Via Coupled Linear Bistable System With Multistable Dynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this research we study the dynamics of a coupled linear oscillatorbistable energy harvester system. The method of harmonic balance and perturbation analysis are used to predict the existence and stability of the bistable ...
Excitation Induced Stability in a Bistable Duffing Oscillator: Analysis and Experiments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The excitationinduced stability (EIS) phenomenon in a harmonically excited bistable Duffing oscillator is studied in this paper. Criteria to predict system and excitation conditions necessary to maintain EIS are derived ...
Predicting Non-Stationary and Stochastic Activation of Saddle-Node Bifurcation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accurately predicting the onset of large behavioral deviations associated with saddle-node bifurcations is imperative in a broad range of sciences and for a wide variety of purposes, including ecological assessment, signal ...
Designing and Harnessing the Metastable States of a Modular Metastructure for Programmable Mechanical Properties Adaptation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent studies on periodic metamaterial systems have shown that remarkable properties adaptivity and versatility are often the products of exploiting internal, coexisting metastable states. Motivated by this concept, this ...
