Abstract

This paper investigates the dynamical response of a nonlinear piezoelectric energy harvester under a hard harmonic excitation and assesses its output power. The system is composed of a unimorph cantilever beam with a tip mass and exposed to an harmonic tip excitation with a hard forcing amplitude. F...
