Development of Bi-Stable Vibration Energy Harvesting System Using Duffing-Type Motion Model

: Vibration power generation is an important issue in development of renewable energy. If a vibration system with a maximum possible amplitude is designed, it can be advantageous in improving the vibration power generation efficiency. In this study, we propose a Duffing-type bi-stable vibration energy harvesting system that utilizes the stochastic resonance phenomenon, which can significantly expand the vibration amplitude. We designed the motion rail shape of the bistable vibration model using the Duffing function
