Funded Activity Summary

Metastructures for Simultaneous Vibration Suppression and Energy Harvesting. The project aims to generate a fundamental understanding of the underlying multiphysics of dual-functional locally resonating metastructures, where undesirable vibrations are suppressed while absorbed energy is converted into electricity. It will widen low-frequency vibration suppression gaps and maximise energy capture by formulating an integrated modelling framework to leverage complex dynamics of nonlinear local resonators coupled with vibration energy harvesting mechanisms and nonlinear electrical circuitry. This will promote the development of next-generation multifunctional metastructures. Knowledge produced should improve the durability of structural components and empower sustainable wireless monitoring with self-powered sensors.
