Abstract: Due to the broadband response characteristics at low levels of excitations, nonlinear multistable systems have garnered a great deal of attention in the area of energy harvesting. Moreover, various performance enhancement strategies of multistable harvesters have been proposed and discussed extensively for systems with perfectly symmetric potentials. However, it is very difficult or even...

Abstract: The special issue entitled “Mathematical modelling, nonlinear dynamics, bifurcation, synchronization and control of mechanisms driven by power supply,” published by The European Physical Journal: Special Topics (EPJST), aims to bring into discussion works involving nonlinear and dynamic and chaotic behaviors, which are frequently found in mechanical and electromechanical systems, nonlinear circuits, and biologically inspired...
