| Purpose High-energy interwell oscillations of the bistable energy harvester (BEH) lead to large-amplitude output voltage. For processing and manufacturing of the BEH, small errors and deviations in the final structure cannot be totally eliminated in practice, which will make the output voltage to be apart away from the design value. Therefore, the geometrical variables, material properties and other parameters should be treated as uncertainties in analysis and are bound to their design. Method This paper presents uncertainty analysis of the BEH to reveal the influence of the uncertain system parameters on the energy harvesting performance. The improved interval extension based on the first-order Taylor series is used to predict the lower and upper bounds of the stable high-energy interwell output voltage of the BEH. In detail, uncertain mass, nonlinear stiffness term, damping, capacitance and electromechanical coupling coefficient are considered. Meanwhile, the Monte Carlo simulation is employed to verify the suitability and the accuracy of this method. Especially, this method allows researchers to define the number of the parameter alpha(j) according to the categories of uncertain variables. Results The research works show that interval of the output voltage of the BEH can be limited by reducing the number of uncertain variables, and the uncertainty of the output voltage is more sensitive to the electrical uncertain variables than the structural uncertainties. Conclusion Designers of the BEH should pay enough attention to the errors and tolerances of the electrical output design variables. Specifically, in the design of the BEH, it is more effective to improve the accuracy of the output voltage by limiting the uncertainties of electric parameters than structural parameters. Reducing the number of uncertain parameters through increasing processing precision in production of the BEH can also improve the accuracy of the output voltage. |
