• Toward Broadband Vibration-based Energy Harvesting (2010, background): “In the two-stage design, the low excitation frequency can be further amplified to the high natural frequency of the cantilever beam (Rastegar et al., 2006; Lee et al., 2007; Tieck et al., 2006; Wickenheiser and Garcia, 2010; Kulah and Najafi, 2008).”
• Novel piezoelectric bistable oscillator architecture for wideband vibration energy harvesting (2013, unknown): “Another class of nonlinear oscillators are multistable [13], and especially bistable oscillators [14–24].”
• Rotational energy harvesting using bi-stability and frequency up-conversion for low-power sensing applications: Theoretical modelling and experimental validation (2019, background): “Direct impact [38] or magnetic plucking [39] is normally adopted to activate these harvesters (transducers) with low and random input excitation frequencies.”
• Improving functionality of vibration energy harvesters using magnets (2012, methodology): “To avoid mechanical impact loss, attractive magnetic forces either by pairs of magnets (Rastegar and Murray, 2009) or by ferromagnetic structures (Wickenheiser and Garcia, 2010) were utilized to induce impulses to the cantilevered energy harvesters.”
• Plucked piezoelectric bimorphs for knee-joint energy harvesting: modelling and experimental validation (2011, background): “Other forms of excitation are much more rarely considered [14].”
• Survey on broadband techniques for vibration energy harvesting (2013, methodology): “A multistable system is given in Figure 10(e) and (f) by Wickenheiser and Garcia (2010).”
• Revisit of series-SSHI with comparisons to other interfacing circuits in piezoelectric energy harvesting (2010, unknown): “The design of generators based on non-resonant excitations has also received considerable recent attention [3, 37, 42, 52].”
