A Hybrid Nonlinear Vibration Energy Harvester (2017, background): “The magnetic force adds cubic stiffness nonlinearity and makes the oscillator a Duffing type with frequency hardening behavior[17, 19, 20, 21, 22].”
A Review on Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting: Materials, Methods, and Circuits (2017, background): “Electromagnetic energy harvesters have been reported showing hardening or softening resonance characteristics (Ando et al. 2010; Barton, Burrow, and Clare 2010; Erturk and Inman 2011; Mann and Sims 2009).”
Dissipation in nanoelectromechanical systems (2014, background): “Applications of nonlinear resonators are numerous and include signal processing [32], improved sensing sensitivity [249], resonator energy measurement through nonlinear mode coupling [250], and energy harvesting [251,252] (It should be noted that so far, energy harvesting has only been demonstrated ”
Broadband tristable energy harvester: Modeling and experiment verification (2014, background): “As a result, the intensive investigation of vibration energy harvesters with monostable [15–19] and bistable [20–29] nonlinear characteristics has been carried out to improve the energy conversion efficiency over a wide range of operating frequencies.”
The benefits of Duffing-type nonlinearities and electrical optimisation of a mono-stable energy harvester under white Gaussian excitations (2012, background): “This led to a significant body of work which focused on analysising the response of energy harvesters to random excitations ([7, 8, 9, 10, 11]) something which will also be the focus of this paper.”
