Sažetak
Mechanical vibrations occur in the operation of most technical systems. High-level vibrations could indicate an overloaded or damaged technical system. These states and behaviours can be monitored or reported, and ambient vibrations may, in turn, be used as a source of energy. The vibrational energy harvesters used in this framework could be an alternative to the supply of low-power autonomous electronic systems for the remote sensing of operations. However, the level of energy harvested using such an approach is usually very low, and the whole concept of vibration energy harvesting system operations (including power management electronics and wireless sensors) must be adapted for specific target applications. This Special Issue, through twelve diverse contributions, intends to present some of the contemporary challenges, solutions and insights around the outlined issues and provides an overview of this rapidly evolving topic. The papers collected in this SI cover a variety of energy harvesting sources, as well as the need to create bases of numerical and experimental evidence around them. Qualifying and quantifying their performances in terms of energy harvesting levels, as well as their consistency and potential applications, are all reflected in these papers. The fundamental importance of understanding sensors, along with their possible integration within their respective application areas, including those related to the effective communication of measurement data, are also emphasized throughout this Special Issue.
