Bistable mechanical systems having two local minima of potential energy can rest in either
of the two stable equilibrium states in the absence of external loadings. A snap‐through …

There are more than thousands of concepts for harvesting wave energy, and wave energy
converters (WECs) are diverse in operating principles, design geometries and deployment …

In this paper, the research on mechanical motion rectification-based electromagnetic
vibration energy harvesting (MMR-based EMVEH) is reviewed comprehensively. Firstly, the …

Beneficial nonlinearities have been intentionally introduced to improve energy harvesting
performance. However, few results are reported on the issues of exploiting bistable and …

Inspired by the dynamics of the noninertial systems, a novel bistable energy harvesting
