Enhanced Energy Harvesting of a Nonlinear Energy Sink by Internal Resonance

Given its essential nonlinearity, nonlinear energy sink (NES) has been extensively studied as a promising vibration energy harvesting device. Internal resonance, which is due to strong energy exchange between modes, also provides a valuable idea for vibration energy harvesting. Combining these two advantages, we put forward a 3:1 internal resonance system, which consists of an NES and a coupled linear oscillator, as an enhanced method for...
