Possibility of tuning shunt circuits for multimodal damping of vibrations of structure with piezoelectric element

Nataliia A. Iurlova, Dmitrii A. Oshmarin, Maksim A. Iurlov, Nataliya V. Sevodina

In this paper, an approach is proposed that allows for the selecting of the parameters of the shunt circuit that provide multimodal damping of vibrations for the corresponding piezoelectric element location. This technique is based on a…
