Modeling and analysis of a horizontally-aligned energy harvester

Modeling and analysis of a horizontally-aligned energy harvester

In this paper we analyse an impact-type vibration energy harvester. In this study, the harvester is positioned so that the electromagnetic transducer moves along a horizontal linear guide when subjected to base excitations. The governing equation is a nonsmooth second order differential equation whi...
