Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vibrational energy harvesting was invented to provide a power supply to small monitoring devices from ambient vibrations. The development of this field was stimulated by increasing the demands for the powering of portable electronics, and extending the battery life. Proposed solutions consisted of a mechanical resonator and coupled transduces changing the mechanical energy into electrical power. In the last decade, energy harvesting has undergone spectacular changes through the application of nonlinear methods, in order to broaden the frequency input. Finally, new devices are not limited to the linear resonance frequency; they offer not only frequency range broadening via inclinations of the resonance curves, but also varieties of new nonlinear resonances for large enough inputs. This Issue will provide the modelling and analysis of nonlinear energy harvesting solutions, and feature their benefits by considering systems from a nano-scale to macro-scale.

Manuscript Submission Information
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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
