First, a hybrid aeolian vibration harvester (HAVH) integrating a multilayer-elastic triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and a plug-cored electromagnetic generator (EMG) is proposed. Through structural optimization, the TENG achieves an open-circuit voltage of 498 V and a peak power of 4.4 mW in the 5–50 Hz, while the EMG supplies a short-circuit current of 23 mA and a peak power of 53 mW, enabling simultaneous energy harvesting and multimodal vibration signal acquisition. Second, nine vibration states are defined based on vibration frequency and amplitude characteristics. Triboelectric signals characterize their dynamic responses, and a mapping model is built by training a two-dimensional convolutional neural network (2D-CNN) on experimental data, which learns to extract discriminative features from triboelectric signals and establish the relationship between vibration excitations and corresponding output patterns. Additionally, an integrated power-management and signal-processing circuit is designed to provide stable power while enabling vibration signal processing.

However, conventional rigid vibration sensors face challenges in achieving conformal attachment to the curved surfaces ubiquitous in industrial equipment, leading to signal distortion and limiting deployment flexibility. While emerging flexible sensors offer some improvements, they often encounter limitations such as sensitivity to electromagnetic interference, poor low-frequency response, or complex fabrication processes. To address these challenges, this study presents a fully flexible, highly-integrated triboelectric vibration monitoring system centered on a conical microstructure-based flexible triboelectric vibration sensor (CMF-TVS) for intelligent mechanical condition monitoring. At the device level, the CMF-TVS is constructed by coupling a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanofiber film with a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer featuring conical microstructures. This point-contact triboelectric interface lowers the mechanical activation threshold and enables stable signal generation under small-amplitude excitation. The CMF-TVS achieves a broadband frequency response of 30–1000 Hz, detects vibration amplitudes as small as 0.127 μm, and maintains stability over 12,000 cycles. Benefiting from the intrinsic flexibility of both the sensing unit and structural design, the system conforms robustly to planar and curved surfaces. Furthermore, the system integrates a hybrid neural network, achieving a remarkable state recognition accuracy of 98.75% for eight different mechanical operating conditions, demonstrating significant potential for self-powered, in-situ vibration monitoring in complex industrial environments.

Theoretical analysis and experimental tests demonstrate that, with the SPST-3S, the optimal output impedance of a rotary TENG (R-TENG) is reduced by 99.97 % (from 650 MΩ to 0.19 MΩ) and the peak output current is increased by a factor of 44 (from 3.5 μA to 154 μA).
