A hybrid piezoelectric-electromagnetic energy harvester from vortex-induced vibrations in fluid-flow; the influence of boundary condition in tuning the harvester
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
In this paper, a hybrid piezoelectric-electromagnetic energy harvester is proposed to harvest energy from fluid flow around a bluff-body using vortex-induced vibration (VIV). The hybrid piezoelectric-electromagnetic harvester ...
Adaptive Electromagnetic Vibration Absorber for a Multimode Structure
(
Assoc. of Mechanical Eng. and Technicians of Slovenia
, 2022 , Article)
All structures experience vibrations due to external dynamic force excitations, such as earthquakes and wind loadings. At resonance, the impact of this natural dynamic force on structures may lead to structural failures. ...
Magnetorheological elastomer-based variable stiffness flexible coupling for vibration isolation
(
Canadian Science Publishing
, 2021 , Article)
Rotating mechanical equipment such as pumps and motors can suffer from unattenuated torsional vibration. The causes of such vibration range from imbalance within the rotating system to misalignment, or even operating at ...
