Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-linear dynamics plays a crucial role in the field of energy harvesting, particularly in optimizing the efficiency and functionality of devices that capture and convert ambient energy into usable electrical power. These applications often involve complex, non-linear systems that exhibit behaviors such as chaos and bifurcation, which can be harnessed to enhance energy conversion processes. By leveraging non-linear dynamics, researchers have been able to design and develop more effective energy harvesting systems, such as piezoelectric devices, which utilize mechanical vibration to generate electricity. The study of non-linear dynamics provides insights into the optimal conditions and configurations for maximizing energy output, enabling advancements in sustainable energy solutions and contributing to the development of self-powered electronic devices and systems.
This special issue will publish high-quality original research articles on the following and related topics:
- Chaotic Vibrations in Energy Harvesters:
- Non-linear Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting:
- Non-linear Electromagnetic Energy Harvesting:
- Bifurcation Analysis in Energy Harvesters:
- Non-linear Resonance in Energy Harvesting:
- Stochastic Non-linear Dynamics in Energy Harvesting:
- Non-linear Aeroelastic Energy Harvesting:
- MEMS-based Non-linear Energy Harvesters:
- Non-linear Optimization Techniques for Energy Harvesting:
- Non-linear Circuit Design for Energy Harvesting:

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
