A new S-shaped MEMS PZT cantilever for energy harvesting from low frequency vibrations below 30 Hz (2012, background): “2010), electromagnetic (Yang and Lee 2010; Hatipoglu and Urey 2010; Galchev et al. 2011) and electrostatic (Naruse et al.”
A review of the recent research on vibration energy harvesting via bistable systems (2013, methodology): “Since the dynamics of operation are more affected by the input excitation amplitude than by the frequency, a unique measure of efficiency was proposed to show the advantage of the device in achieving broadband energy harvesting [47].”
Harvesting traffic-induced vibrations for structural health monitoring of bridges (2011, background): “It is based on the parametric frequency increased generator (PFIG) architecture [14, 15], which is ideally suited toward scavenging low-frequency nonperiodic vibrations without the need for any modifications or tuning during installation.”
Survey on broadband techniques for vibration energy harvesting (2013, methodology): “Furthermore, Galchev et al. (2011) suggest comparison between different vibration energy harvesting systems based on the volume figure of merit by Mitcheson et al.”
Bistable vibration energy harvesters: A review (2013, background): “…that provide a fair amount of energy for harvesting are within the interval 0–30 Hz (Huang et al., 2011; Ramlan et al., 2011; Von Büren et al., 2003) Other applications, such as environmental monitoring, agricultural automation, and security are typically lower than 40 Hz (Galchev et al., 2011).”
