Piezoelectric Vibration-Based Energy Harvesting Enhancement Exploiting Nonsmoothness

Piezoelectric vibration-based energy harvesting systems have been used as an interesting alternative power source for actuators and portable devices. These systems have an inherent disadvantage when operating in linear conditions, presenting a maximum power output by matching their resonance frequen...
