Sobol global sensitivity analysis on a bistable energy harvester
Résumé
This work deals with a global sensitivity analysis in the nonlinear dynamics of a bistable piezo-magneto-elastic energy harvester. The objective is to evaluate the degree of influence of each input parameter variation, as well as their joint effect, on the system response. The global sensitivity analysis method used is the Sobol index, which is based on the idea of orthogonally decompose the total variance of the system response into a sum of conditional variances. The Monte Carlo-based analysis provides a detailed overview about the influence of the physical parameters on the energy recovering process in periodic and chaotic dynamic regimes.
