Abstract

We analyze dynamical responses of energy harvesters with a mechanical resonator possessing three potential wells. The frequency spectral analysis of simulated systems demonstrates that additional sub-harmonic and super-harmonic resonances appear. These additional solutions make the frequency broadband effect and effectively increase the voltage output. We show the characteristic features of the obtained solutions. Appearance of coexisting periodic solutions and chaotic solutions are also shortly discussed.
