Abstract
We examine the response of an inverted pendulum excited harmonically with amplitude limiters. Such a nonlinear resonator is suggested to work in the transduction of ambient vibration energy into the electrical power through bending of the moving beam. Using a multibody model we follow rotation and bending of the elastic beam and we provide the solutions of various frequencies. We found that the corresponding bending is the largest for subharmonic solutions of beam oscillations.
Scheme of the multibody system arrangements including the moving harmonically frame, planar inverted pendulum with amplitude limiters.
