Bifurcation, chaotic and hysteresis phenomena of broadband tristable energy harvesters

We analyze energy harvesting using a mechanical resonator with three potential wells. Nonlinear effects are leading to frequency broadband voltage response via bifurcations, multiple solutions and dynamical hysteresis. We show the characteristic features of the obtained solutions. In particular, bas...
