Abstract

In engineering, due to the complex structural characteristics of system and the non-Gaussian properties of random excitation, it is difficult to establish an accurate stochastic dynamic model for the strongly nonlinear multistable vibration energy harvester (VEH), especially for these driven by non-Gaussian Lévy noise. From the view of machine learning, a data-driven model identification method is devised to extract the non-Gaussian governing laws of the multistable VEH with the aid of the observed sample trajectory data. Based on the Nonlocal Kramers-Moyal formulas, the Lévy, drift and diffusion terms can be approximately expressed by the sample trajectories of the system. By implementing the least square method and the stepwise sparse regressor algorithm, the optimal drift and diffusion coefficients can be identified, and then the non-Gaussian stochastic differential equation of VEH is extracted. Two examples are utilized to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the data-driven modelling method in VEH, which indicates that the identified results agree well with the original system. Finally, the stochastic dynamic behaviors induced by non-Gaussian Lévy noise are explored based on the data-driven penta-stable VEH. The proposed method can provide the theoretical guidance for the modelling and dynamics research of VEH in engineering.
