On the Optimization of a Multimodal Electromagnetic Vibration Energy Harvester Using Mode Localization and Nonlinear Dynamics

In this paper we study a generic model of a nonlinear quasiperiodic vibration energy harvester (VEH) based on electromagnetic transduction. The proposed device consists of multiple moving magnets guided by elastic beams and coupled by repulsive magnetic forces. A system of two degrees-of-freedom (DO...
