...Liuding Yu; Shuyong Liu; Hu Guobiao Bistable structures are widely used for vibration energy harvesting due to their wide bandwidths and extraordinary performance. However, the dynamics of bistable structures are complicated, and inter-well, intra-well, chaotic, superharmonic, and subharmonic...

...Bo Yan; Peng Ling; Yanlin Zhou; Chuanyu Wu; Wenming Zhang This paper investigates the shock isolation characteristics of an electromagnetic bistable vibration isolator (BVI) with tunable magnetic controlled stiffness. The theoretical model of the BVI is established. The maximum acceleration ratio...

...-through region, providing explanation as to why the measured high-orbit responses in the 2.5–3-Hz region of Fig. 7 were destabilized prior to reaching the large peaks earlier observed in analyses, Fig. 2( c ) . The effectiveness of a bistable attachment is explored by harmonic balance analysis...
