Electromechanical Coupling of Distributed Piezoelectric Transducers for Passive Damping of Structural Vibrations: Comparison of Network Configurations

In this work passive piezoelectric devices for vibration damping are studied. It is developed the basic idea of synthesizing electrical wave guides to obtain an optimal electro-mechanical energy exchange and therefore to dissipate the mechanical vibrational energy in the electric form. Modular Piezo...
