Abstract:
In this article, a model of an energy harvester, the mechanical part of which is an inverted pendulum, is proposed. We investigated the stability of a linearized system. It was proven that the stabilizing control of the pendulum, based on the feedback principle, enables the stabilization of the system. We have identified the zones of stability and the amplitude-frequency characteristics. In the second part of this article, a generalization of the dynamic system for the case of the hysteresis friction in the mechanical joint is considered. The role of nonlinear effects within the design Preisach model and the phenomenological Bouc-Wen model is shown.
