Short summary
A miniaturized statically balanced compliant mechanism is proposed as a structural solution to effectively lower the working frequencies of vibrational energy harvesters to ultralow levels across a wide bandwidth for practical applications. This mechanism exhibits zero stiffness and zero force within a specific displacement range and stiffness nonlinearity in the overall range. It overcomes the working frequency limit imposed by the size effect, showing great potential application value.
