Abstract

Journal of Vibration and Control, Ahead of Print.
Bistable harvesters are attractive for capturing broadband vibration energy, yet their strong nonlinearity makes them sensitive to fabrication errors. This work evaluates the robustness of an asymmetric harvester that is corrected in situ by tilting its ...
