    In an era of increasing digital connectivity and device autonomy, the Internet of Things (IoT) represents a fundamental pillar of modern digital transformation. As the number of sensors and devices operating in environments without a stable power supply continues to grow, the demand for sustainable and autonomous energy solutions becomes critical. Efficient conversion of vibrational energy into electrical energy requires a carefully optimized mechanical design to ensure effective energy transfer to the transducers, particularly under low-frequency and small-amplitude conditions typical of real-world IoT applications. This study presents a comprehensive Multiphysics investigation and energy-dynamic characterization of an elastic cantilever system integrating piezoelectric and electromagnetic transducers for vibration energy harvesting. Analytical and numerical models are developed to describe the coupled mechanical-electrical behavior of both harvesting mechanisms, supported by detailed finite element simulations performed in COMSOL Multiphysics. The dynamic response of the cantilever is analyzed for multiple mass configurations. The results demonstrate that modifying the mass distribution significantly shifts the natural frequencies and redistributes kinetic and potential energy across vibration modes, enabling optimized placement of energy transducers. The findings confirm the potential of hybrid cantilever-based harvesters to provide efficient, multifunctional, and sustainable energy solutions for self-powered IoT and smart monitoring systems.

    This study proposes a supervised machine learning framework for vibration-based fault diagnosis of rotating machinery using integrated data-driven and physics-informed fea-ture sets. A dataset acquired under variable load and multiple operating conditions was used for model training. Parallel signal processing techniques were applied to capture fault-related information across multiple frequency bands including time-domain analy-sis, frequency-domain analysis, baseband analysis, and envelope analysis. From the cor-responding signal representations, statistical, spectral, and physics-based features associ-ated with characteristic fault frequencies were extracted and combined into integrated feature sets. The diagnostic performance of models trained using purely data-driven fea-tures was systematically compared with models incorporating integrated data-driven and physics-informed features. Support Vector Machine, Random Forests, Gradient Boosting, and an ensemble classifier were evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. The proposed framework employs a two-layer classification strategy, where the first layer performs multiclass fault identification, while the second layer evaluates the presence of imbalance as a coexisting fault. In addition, the influence of different feature groups as well as individual measurement axes and their combinations on diagnostic performance were analyzed. Validation using a new dataset measured in laboratory con-ditions confirmed the robustness and generalization capability of the proposed diagnostic framework.

    A Multimodal Hybrid Piezoelectric–Electromagnetic Vibration Energy Harvester Exploiting the First and Second Resonance Modes for Broadband Low-Frequency Applications

    The increasing demand for autonomous wireless sensors in Internet of Things (IoT) ap-plications has intensified research on vibration energy harvesting, particularly in the low-frequency range where ambient vibrations are most prevalent. However, most vibra-tion energy harvesters operate efficiently only at a single resonance mode, resulting in a narrow operational bandwidth and pronounced performance degradation under fre-quency detuning. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a multimodal hybrid pi-ezoelectric–electromagnetic vibration energy harvester that exploits both the first and sec-ond resonance modes of a cantilever-based structure to achieve broadband low-frequency operation. The design is guided by the complementary utilization of strain-dominated and velocity-dominated regions associated with different vibration modes. Numerical model-ing and finite element simulations are employed to investigate the influence of mass dis-tribution, deformation characteristics, and relative velocity on energy conversion perfor-mance. A secondary cantilever carrying the electromagnetic coil is introduced to enhance the relative motion between the coil and the magnetic field, thereby extending the effective operational bandwidth. The experimental results demonstrate increased harvested power, improved energy conversion efficiency, and a significantly broadened effective frequency range compared to conventional single-mode piezoelectric and electromagnetic energy harvesters.

    Investigations of the energy characteristics of thermocompression systems applied in industrial concentrators are presented in this paper. A significant increase of the energy efficiency in comparison with traditional industrial concentrators is achieved with the implementation of turbocompressor and/or ejector thermocom-pression. Single stage centrifugal compressors with water (R718) as a refrigerant are especially suitable for application in concentrators for production of fruit or grape concentrates because of the relatively small temperature difference between condensation and evaporation temperatures (Tc – Te). The heat pump cycle in the ejectors is realized with thermocompression of one part of the waste water vapor in the solution, which together with the primary steam from the boiler, or other heat generator, is used as a motive steam for the process of concentration. Several solutions of highly efficient single stage and multistage concentrator systems with turbocompressor and/or ejector thermocompression are proposed. The process of boiling - evaporation of the water from the treated solution in the concentrator is realized at low temperatures, under deep vacuum conditions, which is a guarantee for a high product quality. Due to the low costs of conventional fuels used in the processes of production of concentrate, the products made with these procedures are relatively low-priced, which makes them competitive on the market. A solution of a polygeneration system for production of electricity and thermal energy (steam and hot water) for the needs of technological processes in industrial concentration plants is presented.
