Dynamic Design of a Quad-Stable Piezoelectric Energy Harvester via Bifurcation Theory

The parameter tuning of a multi-stable energy harvester is crucial to enhancing harvesting efficiency. In this paper, the bifurcation theory is applied to quantitatively reveal the effects of structural parameters on the statics and dynamics of a quad-stable energy harvester (QEH). Firstly, a novel...
