A Metamaterial-Inspired Structure for Simultaneous Vibration Attenuation and Energy Harvesting

Figure 1

Concept and design of the metamaterial vibration attenuation energy harvesting structure presented in this work: (a) design layout of the metamaterial structure; (b) building block, i.e., local resonator. Each local resonator consists of four angled cantilevers and a central magnet mass, and (c) the tip of each cantilever is made of insertion where copper coils are placed for power extraction.
