Paper Abstract
Vibration energy harvesting is the transformation of vibration energy to electrical energy. The motivation of
this work is to use vibration energy harvesting to power wireless sensors that could be used in inaccessible or
hostile environments to transmit information for condition health monitoring. Although considerable work has
been done in the area of energy harvesting, there is still a demand for making a robust and small vibration
energy harvesters from random excitations in a real environment that can produce a reliable amount of energy.
Parametrically excited harvesters can have time-varying stiffness. Parametric amplification is used to tune
vibration energy harvesters to maximize energy gains at system superharmonics, often at twice the first natural
frequency. In this paper the parametrically excited harvester with cubic and cubic parametric nonlinearity is
introduced as a novel work. The advantages of having cubic and cubic nonlinearity are explained theoretically
and experimentally.
