Abstract

HAL is a multidisciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.

Enhancing the performance of a bistable energy harvesting device via the cross-entropy method

“…Surprisingly, the nonlinear dynamics literature has been neglecting the CE method, although it is a relatively known technique in the combinatorial optimization community. To the best of the author's knowledge, there are few studies in the open literature applying the CE method for numerical optimization problems involving nonlinear mechanical systems [15,16,17,25,34,63], which leaves space for new contributions in this line. In particular, the development of a simplistic and robust optimization framework, easily customizable, which can be used by naive users without major performance losses.…”
