Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This proposal is to fund a four month research visit to the experimental nonlinear mechanics laboratory of Brian Mann at Duke University, USA. The purposes of the visit are: to establish a new collaboration between Bristol and Duke; to develop skills and understanding in the area of experimental design and testing of nonlinear energy harvesters; to develop mathematical models of the existing energy harvesters in Mann's lab that will provide insight for future design work; and to initiate a joint project around the use of mechanical nonlinearities for enhanced energy harvesting in the context of autonomous oceanographic sensor buoys.
