Abstract
In this study, a nonlinear piezoelectric-electromagnetic hybrid energy harvester is proposed to combine a linear transverse motion of the piezoelectric bimorph and a nonlinear axial motion of the magnet inside a coil. By simply releasing the axial motion, the hybrid harvester can improve the power harvested in comparison with the optimal piezoelectric harvester. The governing equations contain the partial differential equation modeling the distributed-parameter of piezoelectric harvester and the ordinary differential equations modeling the lumped-parameter model of electromagnetic harvester. Two important phenomena are revealed: the frequency-doubling and squared-amplitude effects. The first phenomenon is used to derive the quartic equation that determines the dimensionless optimal parameters. The second one explains the improved performance of the hybrid harvester. The conclusions drawn from theoretical analysis are verified by simulation using a Multi Flexible Body Dynamics software and by a proof of concept test.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics provides a specific medium for dissemination of high-quality research results in the various areas of theoretical, applied, and experimental mechanics of solids, fluids, structures, and systems where the phenomena are inherently non-linear.
The journal brings together original results in non-linear problems in elasticity, plasticity, dynamics, vibrations, wave-propagation, rheology, fluid-structure interaction systems, stability, biomechanics, micro- and nano-structures, materials, metamaterials, and in other diverse areas.
Papers may be analytical, computational or experimental in nature. Treatments of non-linear differential equations wherein solutions and properties of solutions are emphasized but physical aspects are not adequately relevant, will not be considered for possible publication. Both deterministic and stochastic approaches are fostered. Contributions pertaining to both established and emerging fields are encouraged.
