In this work, the influence of a piezoelectric device on the planar motion of a two-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) dynamical system is examined. This system comprises a nonlinear damping spring pendulum (SP), whose pivot point moves on a Lissajous curve at a constant angular velocity in an anticlockwise direction amidst the influence of external forces and moments. The second kind of Lagrange’s equations is used to derive the governing system of equations of motion (EOM), which is transformed into a dimensionless form. Up to the third approximation, the novel asymptotic solutions of this system are obtained using the multiple scales technique (MST). The numerical solutions of the EOM are obtained applying the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. The comparison between both solutions, the asymptotic solutions and the numerical ones reveals great agreement between them, which in turn indicates the accuracy of the used perturbation technique. The solvability criteria are established once the generated secular terms are eliminated, and all resonance cases are subsequently categorized. In light of the system’s adjusted phases, the modulation equations for two of these cases are simultaneously investigated. Graphically, numerous plots depicting the time histories of the achieved solutions are examined, and the nonlinear stability analyses of the modulation equations are investigated in accordance with the steady-state solutions. The outputs of the energy harvesting (EH) device are scrutinized to investigate and analyze the influences of damping coefficients, excitation amplitudes, and different frequencies. Multiple regions of stability and instability are delineated within the frequency response curves (FRC), illustrating the impact of varying parameters on the dynamic behavior of the system. The obtained results are considered significant due to their practical applications in our lives. It can be utilized for medical applications, charging electrical gadgets, powering sensors, smartphones, and other gadgets. It also powers keyless entry systems, patient monitors, airbag sensors, fish and depth finders, and audible alarms like smoke alarms.
Piezoelectric EH devices have become a popular way to capture energy from ambient vibrations in dynamic systems. The potential uses of this confluence of mechanical motion and electrical energy conversion in powering wireless networks, sensors, and small-scale electronic equipment in situations where conventional power sources are unavailable or unfeasible have generated a great deal of attention. A fascinating feature of this field is the complex interaction between the piezoelectric device’s EH properties and the motion of the underlying dynamic system. Research initiatives aiming at comprehending and enhancing the performance of such systems are built on this interconnectedness.
In this regard, a crucial field of research is the motion analysis of a coupled vibrating dynamical system using a piezoelectric EH device. This multidisciplinary endeavor explores the intricate dynamics that dictate the coupled behavior of piezoelectric transducers and mechanical structures. By means of theoretical examination, numerical models, and empirical confirmations, scientists strive to elucidate the complexities of interconnected oscillating dynamic systems enhanced by piezoelectric energy harvesters.
Over the past several years, there has been an increase in interest in transforming the vibrational motion of various dynamical systems into useful electrical energy using harvesting devices.1–3 Applications of EH were studied in Refs 4,5 and include distributed wireless sensor nodes for monitoring the condition of structures, embedded and implanted sensor nodes for medical applications, load batteries for large systems, pressure monitoring of cars, power supply for unmanned vehicles, and home security systems. Now, wireless electronic devices or systems are growing in popularity 6 because they don’t require a power connection. Piezoelectric materials have been the subject of extensive research to create simple yet efficient EH devices.7 The literature on piezoelectric EH contains a wide range of models 8–14 to represent the behavior of harvesters connected electromechanically. These models explore the viability of using vibrations as a power source in situations where vibrations are prevalent, without arguing that it is the best or most flexible way to scavenge ambient power.15 An overview of earlier work and design aspects for piezoelectric-based EH for MEMS-scale sensors are given in Ref 16. Harvested ambient vibration energy may be used to meet the power needs of sophisticated MEMS-scale autonomous sensors for a variety of applications, including structural health monitoring.
In Ref 17, the recommended energy harvesters under harmonic base excitations from the theory of flexoelectricity are developed using the Hamilton’s principle. The authors offered a simple device for collecting energy from oscillating surrounding environment that is based on spring oscillations. To obtain solutions that fit generalized coordinates, vibrating mathematical models are investigated in Refs 18–23. The stability of stable fixed points is verified, and the Routh-Hurwitz nonlinear stability analysis is examined in Ref 18. In Ref 19, the nonlinear dynamics of low-frequency stimulation in broadband piezoelectric energy harvesters is investigated. The fractional calculus is used and the impact of damping, excitation amplitude, and frequency on dynamic behaviors are examined. Chaos and periodic motion are all displayed by the system when the fractional order is changed. Whereas in Ref 20, two dynamical theories for transforming an SP vibrational motion into electrical energy were studied. Piezoelectric and electromagnetic EH devices were coupled independently. The primary controlling system was calculated using Lagrange’s equations, and its solutions were attained. The stability of fixed points was explored, as well as external resonance instances. The positive impact of excitation amplitudes and damping coefficients on the output voltage, current, and power is determined. The dynamical movements of damped SPs with 2DOF or 3DOF that are subjected to excitation forces and moments are examined in Refs 21–23. A general vibrating system of a three DOF double pendulum was investigated in Refs 21,22 wherein the pivot point follows an elliptic trajectory with a stationary angular velocity. Moreover, in Ref 23, the movement of this point was restricted to be on a Lissajous for the issue of a harmonically stimulated damped SP. To assess the accuracy of the analytical solutions, they were obtained up to a higher approximation and compared to the NS.
Additionally, a rigid rod is thought to relate with the pendulum’s motion, in which two separates massless upstretched rigid rods are used in Ref 24 to examine the dynamical behavior of a 2DOF double pendulum system. The motion of a 3DOF dynamical system consisting of three pendulums in a plane is examined in Refs 25,26 in which two of them are rigid bodies that are attached to another massless rigid arm,25 while a triple rigid body pendulum is investigated in. Ref 26. The movement of an unusual 3DOF auto-parametric dynamical system consisting of a forced nonlinear damped Duffing oscillator as the primary system and a damped SP as the secondary system is examined in. Ref 27,28 In Ref 29, the planar motion of an attached 2DOF damped system with an auto-parametric model is investigated. The extension of this research has been examined in Ref 30 for the case of an SP. The motion of a 3DOF dynamical system composed of a nonlinear Duffing oscillator linked to a nonlinear damped SP is investigated in Ref 31 It is taken into mind that this system is connected to an electromagnetic device of EH. It is found that at low frequencies, the EH devices produce large output power and current. In Ref 32, the authors focused their study on the motion of a novel 3DOF system comprised of two connected segments. A piezoelectric transducer is attached to this model to transform the resulting vibrational motion into electrical power. The bifurcation plots and the Lyapunov exponent diagrams are drawn to show the impact of various parameters on the system’s behavior.
In recent years, the study of nonlinear dynamical systems and their interactions with various physical phenomena has gained significant attention. The research has focused on understanding and harnessing these complex interactions for practical applications, such as energy harvesting and vibration control. In the following, some recent studies have been selected for these systems. In Ref. 33, the authors explored the innovative concept of utilizing vortex-induced vibrations to extract energy using piezoelectric materials. The internal resonance mechanisms within a cylinder subjected to these vibrations are investigated, aiming to enhance the efficiency of energy extraction. A detailed analysis is provided of the dynamic interactions and their potential for practical energy harvesting applications. In Ref. 34, the authors delved into the performance and dynamical behaviors of piezoelectric energy harvesters influenced by dissipative viscoelastic impacts. The nonlinear dynamics and the intricate interactions between the harvester’s components are emphasized. By providing insights into the system’s performance under various conditions, the optimization of energy harvesting devices has been improved. The complex dynamical interactions between a double pendulum system and nonlinear sloshing in cranes carrying a liquid tank are investigated in Ref. 35. It is aimed at understanding the coupled oscillations and their impact on the stability and control of the cranes. Such insights are crucial for designing safer and more efficient crane operations in industrial and maritime settings. The nonlinear static and dynamic behaviors of rod pendulums that are either partially or fully submerged in still water are examined in Ref. 36. This work provided valuable knowledge about the effects of submersion on the pendulum’s motion, contributing to a broader understanding of fluid-structure interactions and their implications for marine engineering applications. The analysis of a time-delayed excited damping Duffing oscillator is examined in Ref. 37. The complex dynamics introduced by time delays and their effects on the system’s stability and response are explored. Such investigations are pertinent for the design of advanced damping systems in mechanical and structural engineering. The use of active dampers to mitigate multistability vibrations in a 2DOF rotor model is examined in Ref. 38. The challenges posed by simultaneous multiparametric and external harmonic excitations are addressed, offering solutions to enhance the rotor’s stability and performance in various engineering applications. The vibrational dynamics of a system subjected to external torque and excitation forces are investigated in Ref. 39. This research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these external influences affect the system’s behavior, with implications for the design and control of mechanical systems exposed to dynamic loading conditions. The stability of a 3DOF vibrating system in the vicinity of resonances is explored in Ref. 40. By examining the system’s behavior near resonance conditions, the authors provide insights that are critical for predicting and mitigating instability in engineering systems subjected to vibrational excitations.
In this study, a novel dynamical system of a SP is investigated for converting its vibrational movement into electricity by connecting a piezoelectric energy harvester device to this system. The main EOM are determined using Lagrange’s equations from second kind, and the piezoelectric circuit’s mechanism is employed to construct the equivalent equation. New analytical solutions of the system’s EOM up to the third approximation are achieved utilizing the MST, and their accuracies are verified by comparison with the numerical solutions using the aforementioned numerical method of the EOM. The conditions of solvability are established once the secular terms are removed, and all resonance cases are then categorized. The equations of modulation for two of these cases are simultaneously assessed in view of the system’s altered phases. Several plots showing the time histories of the obtained solutions are presented graphically using the Wolfram Mathematica 12.1. The stability analyses of the ME are examined in accordance with the solutions at the steady-state scenario. Moreover, the stability of the nonlinear amplitudes within the modulation equations system and the attributes of nonlinear analysis have been showcased through the utilization of complex transformations applied to the system’s amplitudes. The piezoelectric device is affected by the motion of the main dynamical system, so we must study the behavior of the main system. The impacts of damping coefficients, excitation amplitudes, and different frequencies are investigated and analyzed with regard to the outputs of EH devices, such as voltage and power. To illustrate how the acted-upon parameters affect the system’s behavior, a number of stable and unstable regions for the FRC are drawn. The acquired results are significant because they have real-world applicability in our daily lives. It can be used to power sensors, charge electrical devices, and perform medical procedures.

When one of the preceding prerequisites for resonance is satisfied, the examined system will behave in a very complicated manner. It’s crucial to note that even if the oscillations are far from resonance, the solutions produced are still appropriate. We’ll now look into the first case in greater depth, in which two of them occurred simultaneously, that is, . Then, one can consider the detuning parameters that help achieve this aim, which express the nearness of and to and , respectively. Therefore, one writes
