Probabilistic analysis of an asymmetric bistable energy harvester
Résumé
A nonlinear bistable vibration energy harvester is an efficient system to convert vibration energy into electricity to power mobile electronic devices, but they present a complex dynamic behavior and sensitivity to slight variations of the parameters. This work aims to show a comprehensive analysis of uncertainties in asymmetric bistable energy harvesters to obtain statistical information about how the variability of each parameter affects the harvesting process.
