This paper presents a rigorous analytical solution to the dynamics of a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) under the combined wind and base excitations using the harmonic balance method. The boundaries of the quenching region are predicted using the multi-scale meth...
