| contents | Vibro-impact (VI) systems provide a promising nonlinear mechanism for energy harvesting (EH) in many engineering applications. Here, we consider a VI-EH system that consists of an inclined cylindrical capsule that is externally forced and a bullet that is allowed to move inside the capsule, and analyze its dynamics under the presence of dry friction. Dry friction introduces a switching manifold corresponding to zero relative velocity where the bullet sticks to the capsule, appearing as sliding in the model. We identify analytical conditions for the occurrence of non-stick and sliding motions, and construct a series of nonlinear maps that capture model solutions and their dynamics on the switching and impacting manifolds. An interplay of smooth (period-doubling) and non-smooth (grazing) bifurcations characterizes the transition from periodic solutions with alternating impacts to solutions with an additional impact on one end of the capsule per period. This transition is preceded by a sequence of grazing-sliding, switching-sliding and crossing-sliding bifurcations on the switching manifold that may reverse period doubling bifurcations for larger values of the dry friction coefficient. In general, a larger dry friction coefficient also results in larger sliding intervals, lower impact velocities yielding lower average energy outputs, and a shift in the location of some bifurcations. Surprisingly, we identify parameter regimes in which higher dry friction maintains higher energy output levels, as it shifts the location of grazing bifurcations. |
