Integration of Geometrical and Material Nonlinear Energy Sink with Piezoelectric Material Energy Harvester

This paper presents a novel design by integrating geometrical and material nonlinear energy sink (NES) with a piezoelectric-based vibration energy harvester under shock excitation, which can realize vibration control and energy harvesting. The nonlinear spring and hysteresis behavior of the NES coul...
