Abstract

This paper deals with single-mode passive damping of piezoactuated structures. The problem of shunting in the best way a piezoelectric actuator is discussed, and a new passive shunt circuit, given by the parallel of an inductance and a capacitance in series to a resistance, is here proposed. For a sufficiently high piezoelectric coupling coefficient, it is analytically shown to be more performant than the classical resistive-inductive shunt circuit, in the sense that it guarantees an higher exponential time decay rate of the free vibrations.
