Abstract

This work reports the novel concept of frequency response widening of vibrational energy harvesters exploiting the combined effects of bistable and monostable nonlinearities in a single device. The bistability is introduced into the system by repulsive arrangement of magnets, while monostable nonlinear force through the stretching is incorporated by large deformation of two-end-fixed cantilevers. The simulation results show wider bandwidth in the bistability and stretching combined configuration compared to the bistable only or the monostable stretching only configuration.
