Abstract: Abstract. This study investigates the dynamic behavior of a vertical cantilever beam with tip mass under biaxial base excitation. Excitations are considered along the axis of the beam (vertical) and in a transverse direction ...

Abstract: Energy harvesting is a promise to harvest unwanted vibrations from a host structure. Similarly, a dynamic vibration absorber is proved to be a very simple and effective vibration suppression device, with many practical ...

Abstract: An energy harvesting dynamic vibration absorber (EHDVA) is studied to suppress undesirable vibrations in a host structure as well as to harvest electrical energy from vibrations using piezoelectric transduction. This work ...

Abstract: This manuscript investigates the effect of nonconservative electromechanical energy transfer on the onset of interwell motions in multistable piezoelectric energy harvesters. Multistable piezoelectric energy harvesters ...
