摘要:In the present work, we report on energy harvesting in a delayed Rayleigh oscillator coupled to a piezoelectric harvester device. Analytical investigation using the multiple scales method is performed to obtain approximation of the periodic and QP amplitude response. The influence of different parameters of the harvesting system on the output power coupling to periodic and QP vibrations is examined. Results show that for appropriate values of the delay parameters, QP vibrations can also be exploited to harvest energy with good performence.
