Performance of broadband tristable energy harvesters

We analyze dynamical responses of energy harvesters with a mechanical resonator possessing three potential wells. The frequency spectral analysis of simulated systems demonstrates that additional sub-harmonic and super-harmonic resonances appear. These additional solutions make the frequency broadba...
