Dynamic Modeling and Structural Optimization of a Bistable Electromagnetic Vibration Energy Harvester

A novel bistable electromagnetic vibration energy harvester (BEMH) is constructed and optimized in this study, based on a nonlinear system consisting mainly of a flexible membrane and a magnetic spring. A large-amplitude transverse vibration equation of the system is established with the general non...
