Abstract
We study the effect of an amplification mechanism in a nonlinear vibration energy harvesting system where a ferromagnetic beam resonator is attached to the vibration source through an additional linear spring with a damper. The beam moves in the nonlinear double-well potential caused by interaction with two magnets. The piezoelectric patches with electrodes attached to the electrical circuit support mechanical energy transduction into electrical power. The results show that the additional spring can improve energy harvesting. By changing its stiffness, we observed various solutions. At the point of the optimal stiffness of the additional spring, the power output is amplified a few times depending on the excitation amplitude.
