The paper presents an experimental study of a special non−linear low frequency system dedicated to vibration mitigation and energy recovery. The dual−function design was based on an autoparametric vibration system, which consists of an oscillator with an added pendulum vibration absorber. Its structure includes an energy arvesting device: a levitating magnet in a coil. The pendulum motion shows simultaneously the effects of vibration reduction and energy recovery. The influences of the magnet−coil configurations, and load resistances on vibration reduction and energy harvesting ere studied in detail.References
