Dynamic Analysis and Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting from a Nonideal Portal Frame System including Nonlinear Energy Sink Effect

This paper investigates, through numerical simulations, the application of piezoelectric materials in energy generation. The mathematical model describes a U-shaped portal frame system, excited by an engine with unbalanced mass and coupled to a nonlinear energy sink (NES), which is used as a passive...
