This work focuses on vibration alleviation and energy harvesting in a dynamical system of a spring-pendulum. The structure of the pendulum is modified using an independent electromagnetic harvesting system. The harvesting depends on the oscillation of a magnet in a coil. An endeavor has been made to get both the energy harvesting and mitigation of vibration efficacy of the harvester. The governing kinematics equations are derived using Lagrange’s equations and are solved asymptotically using the multiple scales method to achieve the intended outcome as new and precise results. The resonance states are classified, and the influence of various parameters of the studied system is analyzed. Fixed points at steady states are categorized into stable and unstable. The time behavior of the solutions, the modified amplitudes, and phases are examined and interpreted in the light of their graphical plots. Zones of stability and instability are concerned, in which the system’s behavior is stable for a wide range of used parameters. This model has become essential in recent times as it uses control sensors in industrial applications, buildings, infrastructure, automobiles, and transportation.

Pull-in instability occurs in a micro-electromechanical system, and it greatly hinders its normal operation. A fractal modification is suggested to make the system stable in all operation period. A fractal model is established using a fractal derivative, and the results show that by suitable fabrication of the micro-electromechanical system device, the pull-in instability can be converted into a novel state of pull-in stability.

Electrospinning is now commercially used for the fabrication of nano/micro fibers. Compared with spider dragline silk, artificial fibers have poor mechanical properties. Unlike natural silk, which has a hierarchical structure with an approximate 3-fold symmetry, the molecular structure of spun fiber has neither folding nor orientation. To date, it is almost impossible to control molecule orientation during the spinning process. Here, we show that macromolecule orientation can be easily controlled using the laminar flow of fluid mechanics. A lasting laminar flow in a long needle can order macromolecules. We find that the orientation of macromolecules can greatly affect the morphology and mechanical properties of fibers. We expect our technology to be helpful for more sophisticated fabrication of fibers with ordered macromolecules and DNA-like twists.

Pull-in instability was an important phenomenon in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). In the past, MEMS were usually assumed to work in an ideal environment. But in the real circumstances, MEMS often work in dust-filled air, which is equivalent to working in porous media, that's mean fractal space. In this paper, we studied MEMS in fractal space and established the corresponding model. At the same time, we can control the occurrence time and stable time of pull-in by adjusting the value of the fractal index, and obtain a stable pull-in phenomenon.

Mechanical property is one of the most important properties of nanofiber membranes. Electrospinning is widely used in the preparation of nanofibers due to its advantages such as good stability and easy operation. Compared with some nature silk, the mechanical properties of nanofibers prepared by electrospinning are poor. Based on the principle of vortex spinning and DNA structure, this paper designed an air vortex electrospinning device that can control the structure of macromolecular chains in nanofibers. When a weak air vortex is generated in the electrospinning process, the macromolecule chains will entangle with each other and form a DNA-like structure so as to improve the mechanical property. In addition, when a strong air vortex is generated during the electrospinning process, the nanofibers will adhere to each other, thereby enhancing the mechanical property and enlarging the pore size.
