Virtual symposium on “Frequency Broadband Energy Harvesting From Nonlinear Vibrations” (NODYCON 2021)

Recently, energy harvesting from ambient vibration is an active area of research and facing various applications sufficient to power simple wireless and portable devices. Kinematically excited nonlinear resonators with piezoelectric, electrostatic, and electromagnetic transducers are proposed. Such complex devices are characterized with a frequency broad band effect. Other nonlinear effects as vibration synchronization, multiple solutions, additional resonances, which influence the device performance, can be also present in the system. Additionally, in ambient vibration harvesting, a wide spectrum of harmonics are excited. This session will review the new structures and explain their dynamics in maximizing their power outputs. It is going to be organized in the frame of ”Second International Nonlinear Dynamics Conference”, February 16-19, 2021,
