Nonlinear Energy Harvesting Methods

Nonlinear Energy Harvesting Methods introduces the basic concepts of nonlinear energy harvesting methods highlighting their advantages and disadvantages as compared to the traditional linear harvesters. It provides a summary of the different mechanisms used for nonlinear energy harvesting and the tools that can be used to analyse their performance.  

Nonlinear Energy Harvesting Methods systematically and comprehensively addresses the intentional inclusion of nonlinearities to improve transduction of vibratory energy harvesters. This topic, considered by many as one of the most important research directions, has been gaining a wider interest in the energy harvesting community and this book conveys such concepts in a simple and exciting manner making them relevant to the working engineer as well as academic experts in the field.
